I have over 25 years of experience in the sand and gravel industry. Starting as a dedicated mechanic, I specialized in process improvement and played a key role in developing dredge control and DGPS software. For 11 years, I served as Technical Manager, overseeing sales, consulting, and advisory roles. My passion lies in the dynamics of diverse dredging processes, the power of heavy machinery, and the challenging environments they operate in. What drives me is not just the technology and machines but also the human aspect. I enjoy collaborating at all levels, from operators to executives, working together to optimize processes and make the right machinery choices.
With over 10 years of experience in the world of dredging, I know that the success of clients depends on maximum efficiency and control of operational costs. With our Parts Management Program we focus on optimizing business activities. Not only the effective management of spare parts is crucial to ensure uninterrupted operations, but (preventive) maintenance is also important to ensure that the machines remain in top condition. Together with the customer, we map out the wishes and requirements, resulting in a tailor-made maintenance plan. “We put the customer first in everything we do”
I have over 20 years of experience in Equipment Engineering, R&D, Product & Project management and Sales Engineering in the heavy machinery industry such as Dredging Equipment, Drilling Equipment and Oil Exploration Support Vehicles. Selecting the most suitable and efficient equipment or dredge pump for the job is my passion. Finding the most optimal balance between Technical Specifications, Equipment Costs, Operation Efficiency and Serviceability is key in my role when advising customers, where it's demands, wishes, targets and boundaries play a central role.
