My first acquintance with the BiD Network was at the BiD Network marketplace January 2009 in Rotterdam and as a volunteer the next two days, helping entrepreneurs with their visits to potential investors and business contacts. It was very inspiring, meeting all these enthusiastic people. The way BiD Network makes a connection between the needs of enterpreneurs in developing countries and the sources in my country is indeed a challenge.
I work as a senior account manager at Rabobank's Special Credit Department. It is my task to look after the banks interests in (mainly medium sized) companies facing problems and if possible, help them to recover. I have extended knowledge in financing companies in distress and in turn around situations.
Before this I was consultant for Rabobanks local offices specialised in financing middle market companies in the (metal-) industry. In this job I have adjudged a lot of businessplans and also written many credit applications.
I have an education in Business and (Dutch) insolvency law.
I would like to share my experience with entrepreneurs and help them writing successful business plans that will attract potential investors, so that their business will be able to contribute to the development of their countries.
