My greatest contribution to an organization lies in my abilities to interact positively with people, in combination with a strong drive to achieve worthwhile results. As a natural leader I use influence and persuasion but act with empathy. My eagerness to accept challenges and question the status quo will often bring fresh perspective to organisational issues together with a hands-on and pragmatic execution of what needs to be done. I prefer working in an entrepreneurial setting with business transformation on the strategic agenda.I am clearly skilled at forming a clear picture of an issue at hand. I collect data thoroughly, identify the most important information and establish links between the most relevant facts. Whenever appropriate I am able to recognize the relevance of important issues and long-term considerations. I am able to form a strong business vision and act as a business partner CFO. I take a decision when necessary and also take responsibility for my actions and for the company when required such as when I took sole responsibility for 6 months for Interstream Barging due to resignation of the CEO and combined both CEO and CFO position. As CFO I gained experience in audit, risk management, budgeting, IT, financial and business control, HR, which I combine with experience in closing merger and acquisition equity deals and a thorough practical understanding of treasury, debt financing and cash flow management. I worked in large corporates, family-owned business as well as a private equity owned environment.E-mail: hans@vdenbosch.nlKey words: CFO | business partner | strategy | operational management | budgeting | business development | change management | project management | business control | financial control | M&A | debt financing | KPI management | analyst | hands-on | execution | cash flow management | private equity
