Active in the Industry for a long period I have developed as an allround no-nonsense Manager and leader with an excellent understanding of stakeholders needs. Respectful and demanding towards staff, working as a team player getting the best out of individuals. The expat period on the smelter project in Nigeria for a period of 5 years boosted my personal development and career. After my working experience abroad, I continued this development working for one of the most successful companies in the Netherlands, HunterDouglas. After restructuring Nedal as a Financial Director the company was back on track reporting healthy profits for more than 22 years that followed. Being no longer part of the core business of HunterDouglas the company was sold in 2019.Proven trackrecord in:+ Managing a 250 FTE plus production company, turnover Euro 90 million, active in both B2B and Public sector.+ P&L and EBITDA driven + Change management processes and cost saving programs+ Managing a multicultural environment+ Converting customer relationships in long standing partnerships with high level of customer intimacy+ Improving processes by introduction and roll out of Lean Manufacturing+ Crisis management and damage control+ Establishment of a working EHS steering group acknowledging the importance of safety in an industrial environmental and its responsibilities+ Developed, optimized, and secured new processes and procedures acknowledged with various quality labels (ISO/Automotive/IRIS/Cradle to Cradle)+ Developed and realized various investment programs and projects focusing on production and increased efficiency as well as continuity. + Human resource management including Young Talent program + Strategic planning, budgeting, and forecasting
