I am an experienced manager seeking a new position in the area of International Bid Management or Sales, based in the Netherlands. In the past I have worked in the Multinational Telecoms market but would happily consider other industry sectors. I have spent the last five years working in the vibrant Spanish real estate market and have now returned to the Netherlands to explore other options. I have a home in Amersfoort and am available to move quickly should the right opportunity arise.
