Since 1995, the foundation of Ergon International, I strive to create the conditions appropriate for an excellent performance and continuous growth of the company.
In my little free time you can often find me swimming in the outside pool in our town. Also I like to walk in nature where it is always fascinating to look at everything thats grows and flourishes. This is also a reason to give my full support to and be a member of the Dutch Rare Breed Survival Trust (SZH).

And my main task is to learn the demand of each agent in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and propose the best varieties for each separate conditions and areas. There are no universal varieties in the world, but there are products that meet exactly your needs. Together with my colleagues we keep in contact with all our agents, support them and developing their markets together.

As employee seed packing unit it is very important to be accurate and precise. The logistic work therefore remains a nice challenge to do. Besides receiving and packing the vegetable seeds, I pay special attention to preparing the commercial samples, which I execute with the greatest care. A good commercial introduction is the basis for a growing company.
In my spare time I like to swim, walk and cycle. I am chairman of a ladies choir where I sing with great pleasure. As a volunteer I collect for the National Kidney Foundation and on top of all this I love to go on vacation with my family to the Greek sun.
