Dennis is a goal-oriented manager, who effectively achieves results through clear analysis and a thorough approach. He is broadly oriented, quickly oversees complex playing fields, knows how to separate main and minor issues, provides structure and aims to improve every day. Dennis maintains calm and overview and goes for a good atmosphere, even when things get exciting. As a team player, he is proactive and positively critical. He takes those involved with him in the change from work floor to management and makes sure it is sustainable.

Dennis has over fifteen years of experience, including in strategy formation and execution, M&A, organizational development, managing large change projects and as an operations and staff manager. He completed a master's degree in Technical Business Administration at TU Eindhoven and is currently additionally pursuing a Finance master's degree.

He was active at Sligro Food Group, where he made significant contributions to setting and guiding the strategic change agenda. At the wholesaler, he led various strategic projects, including acquisitions, integrations and the sale of activities and business units. Previously, he worked for PostNL, among others, for more than nine years. There he fulfilled various roles in the management of large change projects, with which the company responded to the growth of the parcels business and the shrinkage in the letters market.

Besides work, Dennis enjoys spending time with his family, taking time out for a snack and drink, and making his meters on his road bike.
