I like to travel with friends, colleagues or my retired dad. Setting and achieving challenging goals together makes us stand out. Previous years we cycled to meaningful historic sites like Auschwitz and I climbed to Everest base camp with a friend and colleague. Seeing Corona, the war in Ukraine and my Sons Born in ‘22 and '24., I adapted my cycle ambitions from eight countries 3000 km's, to focus on the homefront and cycled closer by, to Berlin instead.With over ten years experience in a tier 1 shipbuilding company, I have become an experienced manager, lead 15 direct reports in sales/consultants/proposal engineers. Currently focus on proposals of maintenance pacakges; organisational, design & estimation and finance. Starting up a project from customer request onward with a focus on contract and risk management. People describe me as being a born chairman; a good listener, serious but playful, well prepared and structured. Furthermore, understanding technical, contractual and financial details, helps me to set things in motion AND finish the job.Connecting comfortably with anyone and interested in anything new, I enjoy discussions with either colleagues or customers. Even more so when I am interviewing, presenting or hosting an event as moderator. I have recently decided to (part time) pursue this hobby and further develop this skill set as speaker for my own company called Alblas Asks.
