Who am I?
If we do our work well, then you won’t need us any more. This is the mantra I apply as external prevention adviser at Mensura, where I have been working since 2000. And this mantra has enabled me to visit a great many sectors for both short and long-term assignments. Right from the start, I developed a keen interest in fire safety and the logistics sector.
In my spare time, I come up for air by walking, doing quizzes, playing golf, gardening, getting out into nature and playing football.
A true leader doesn’t impose a decision, but makes sure that people impose it on themselves"Nelson Mandela
