"Opportunities for growth, both nationally and internationally"
Evolving
“When I first arrived at Rijk Zwaan I was initially involved in a very wide range of different projects. It was the perfect way for me to learn about the company’s internal organisation. While working on the development of a new digital customer platform I learnt a lot about our various markets and I also discovered that what I actually enjoy the most is customer contact. I discussed this with Rijk Zwaan and that ultimately resulted in my current role as Chain Manager in Brazil. I’ve moved here together with my girlfriend for this job. It’s a unique opportunity in a market that is rapidly evolving.”
Responsibility
“I regard myself as a positive person, but I can also be critical. Nothing is ever completely perfect, not even at Rijk Zwaan – but that’s only to be expected in such a fast-growing and complex organisation! So we can still make lots of improvements here. As an employee, you must be willing to view that as a challenge and take responsibility for achieving results. One thing I find really interesting is that such a huge organisation can revolve around something so small as a seed – all the different specialisms, the countless stakeholders in the vegetable chain, the impact of packaging and the climate...”
Ambition
“Plenty of major challenges still lie ahead, such as the importance of food safety and reducing the amount of plastic packaging. Rijk Zwaan is becoming increasingly involved in those kinds of issues too, and we have the ambition to make a valuable and positive contribution.”
