Miscellaneous: * Intercultural experience; knowledge of several different European (business) cultures thanks to my current line of work in which I travel a lot. * Speak 3 languages: Dutch, English, German (in that order of proficiency)What drives me: * I look systematically at the purchasing process from a theoretical viewpoint, but with a focus towards practical implementation.
