Born in luminous Eindhoven, at 18 I went to study in Delft and then Leiden, where I met my wife. Since 2008, we have lived in Arnhem, together with my son (19 years old). My daughter (21 years old) has been out of the house for a while now and currently lives in Eindhoven with her boyfriend.

Age

55 years old.

Function/department

Trial Delivery Leader / Global Development- Medical Affairs Delivery Unit.

Working at J&J since

January 2018.

Working at J&J IM, Biologics because:

I feel comfortable here with nice, helpful colleagues around me.

What I used to want to be

When I was young, I always went to watch planes at Eindhoven airport. I always dreamed of flying as a pilot myself.

Best trait

Always knowing how to put things in perspective.

Worst trait

That I talk too much. If there is a silence during consultations, I always try to say something.

When I am free, I go

Walking/cycling in the beautiful countryside around Arnhem and try not to think about JnJ.

Favourite film/book/CD

 The book ‘Watership Down’ (Waterschapsheuvel), which was also made into a film. 

Favourite website

topotijdreis.nl

Proud of

My son (19) and daughter (21).

Ideal TV night

Watching a good Netflix movie, but I prefer relaxed music and listening to podcasts. ​​​​​​​

Fondest childhood memory

Windsurfing holidays with my parents in Austria, Spain and France.

They can wake me up for

For nothing ;)

My motto

Always and everywhere remain yourself.
