Octave Hooft Graafland is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "Octave was responsible for setting up a lead generation programme between Postbank and RVS insurance in 2004. Being responsible for the receiving business at that time, I was very happy to see Octave and his team in a politically difficult environment generously exceeding their target which was very beneficial to our business and the start of closer collaboration between the two business entities. Some years later I hired Octave as a strategy consultant for our life insurance business in Hungary where he created a sound and actionable market entry strategy for neighbouring countries in a very short time frame. Octave was enthusiastic to get involved in setting up the first contacts with potential business partners to further explore opportunities. He is a dedicated and result driven project manager with strong analytical and commercial skills who uses his creative thinking and business sense to get to results. Octave builds strong relations within different cultures, motivates people with lots of enthousiasm and is a great person to work with." and "Octave is a a very dedicated and committed person with a great feel of responsibility. He works hard and puts all his energy into the work to get it done. He is a great teamworker and inspires other team members for a positive atmosphere. He has a good sense of humor. I have very much enjoyed working with Octave."
