“ I really enjoy developing this company and seeing it grow step-by-step. Innovation plays a large role in this. If you only keep doing what you have always done, nothing will change and one day you will find yourself falling behind. I see it as my role to make sure that we matter and stay relevant. In my free time, I enjoy watching my children play sports from the sideline and I like to go to a football match once in a while. I also enjoy sailing, cycling and walking with my wife Monique. I also like to cook and being with my family and friends. ”

“ I like to work with others to make the world a little bit better. In my work, I primarily focus on entrepreneurship and leadership. Thinking outside the box and going off the beaten track really fascinates me. In addition to my work at Moving Spirits, I am also a coach and organisation consultant. The combination of these two makes me happy. In my free time, I prefer to be outdoors and doing fun things with my friends and family. My daughter and I are both fascinated by Harry Potter. We have devoured all the books and watched all the films over and over. Amazing, such a magical world! ”

“ I get I get my energy from creating long-term business with Moving Spirits, build sustainable relationships, thinking ‘’out of the box‘’, and being creative. In my private life, too, I like the challenge of living as sustainably as possible. For instance, I cycle to work, I admit, electrically, but all year round. At the end of the working day, it is always a treat to cycle home through the countryside, enjoying the scenery. And yes, when it rains I am also fed up, but I always think: ‘’most rain falls next to you‘. In my spare time, I go to the gym with my brother-in-law and at weekends my two children keep me moving (swimming, panna cage, basketball, ping-pong in the schoolyard). I also enjoy playing with Lego or a fun board game with our little men. Furthermore, I love gaming (which means that twice a year I lock myself up with a group of guys in an old farmhouse with computers and a frying pan, you really don’t need much to feel happy 😉 ) , watching a movie or going out for a nice trip with our family. It doesn’t have to be far to explore and appreciate the world; being away from home and discovering new places is what we cherish. ”

“ I am a very social and positive person, always ready to help and skilled at what I do. I am someone who always wants to learn more and I gladly share the know-how I acquire. I always try to see the opportunities that problems can offer and search for solutions. Working with suppliers, customers and our own Moving Spirits team gives me a lot of energy. TEAM = Together Each Achieves More! Outside of work, I am a passionate basketball coach. I enjoy watching the Formula 1 races on television and touring around in my own old-timer (a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL). ”

“ I am not looking to make that one quick deal, but really enjoy working towards a structural partnership. I am generally a happy-go-lucky person who likes to have fun on the work floor. I am also direct, loyal and no-nonsense in my relationships! On Saturdays, I proudly wear the blue and white colours of the local footballclub V.K.W. from Westerbork and on Sundays I support our boys in green and white representing FC Groningen. On Sunday mornings, you can also often find me in the woods of Drenthe or on top of the Col du VAM! Oh yeah, I also tend to be the last guy to leave the party… ”

“ I try to hone my skills every day. I’m a hard worker, I am optimistic and loyal. My customer’s wishes and needs are important to me. I like to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Our team really collaborates and communicates well. I like that. Thursday nights, you will find me playing football at Velocitas1897. On weekends, I watch a lot of football. I am a big fan of Real Madrid. ”

“ I am a committed, positive and inquisitive person who likes challenges and sees every problem as an opportunity for improvements. Successfully helping customers gives me a true sense of fulfilment, and neither at a personal or professional level do I like ‘quick-wins’. I am a more long-term driven person. By carefully listening to every customer, I strive to build good customer relationships, achieve good collaborations, and thereby be able to offer a personal experience. In my spare time, I like grabbing a bite, watch movies and game nights with family and friends always sounds good to me. Travelling, however, is what truly makes me happy. There is at least one trip abroad on my bucket list every year! ”

“ I am a loyal, positive and dedicated person coming from a small business family. I’ve worked for more than 10 years in the Italian restaurant of my parents. I’ve learned the meaning of working hard, providing the best possible service and most important of all: to have fun with the customers. This is what I will always try to bring with me for the customers of Moving Spirits. During the weekends I like to relax and drink some wine or a beer with friends. On Sunday I watch football with my dad, Italian football of course. My favourite football club is Inter Milano. Almost every summer I go to Sardinia to visit my family, lay on the beach and eat a lot of food. Mamma mia, I miss it already! ”

“ Spontaneous, reliable and a good dosis of humor are typical words that describe me as a person. Keep it short and simple and do it in the right way to satisfy the customer on a longterm trustful sustainable level. I always listen to our customers and try solve their bottlenecks in the supply chain and to help as much as possible. In my spare time, I like to do sports like running and kickboxing with friends.  But there is also time for a ‘’cooling down’’ walk with my wife, 3 children and dog in the woods of Bakkeveen. After that, it’s time for a milkshake or soft icecream on the terrace. We also like to spend our time with friends, eating in a restaurant and drink a good glass of beer in one of the pubs in the city. Enjoy your life every day and do the things you want to do!  ”

“ As Software Engineer I’m of course happy when I can sit behind my laptop and work work with the latest technology. But what I really like is to take dreams, vague plans and ideas and make them concrete, actionable and real. That’s why I’m always thinking about the product I’m working on: what should it do, how does it fit in the bigger picture, what do users expect of this? I like variety in my work, which is why I’m always working on multiple projects at the same time. And when I’m not working, I spend time with my wife and daughter, I try to raise and teach my dog, I serve my three cats and I make sure my rabbit has plenty to nibble away on. If after all that I have some time left I like to play a game, read a book or plan my next trip, preferably to somewhere far away with lots of nature. ”

“ Working with the team on the IT systems of Moving Spirits gives me a lot of energy. Within the team, we are keen on the quality we deliver. Thanks to multiple perspectives from the different individuals, the applications eventually become better than if you go at it alone. Aside from the computer, I spend a lot of time on my road bike, try to run and play console games. I also try to cook and like to eat out. ”

“ I am curious and always looking for new perspectives when approaching a problem. As a software engineer at Moving Spirits, I have a particular focus on front-end technology. In my spare time, I enjoy working on an open-source video-conferencing solution and keeping an eye on the development of linux-based phones like the Pinephone. In my offline time, I love being in and around the garden, always looking for an excuse to buy more plants. ”

At Moving Spirits I can learn well to further develop my skills and make a valuable contribution with my knowledge. Furthermore, I have a real passion for sports. I am a real soccer fanatic and love to follow all the ins and outs of the world of soccer. I also play soccer, go to the gym and row from time to time. I also enjoy socializing with friends! ”

“ I am upbeat, reliable and service-oriented. In addition to the general accounting, I am also given lots of room at Moving Spirits to work on sustainable initiatives. In my spare time I also try to make the world a slightly better place. I am a volunteer at Penduka (Namibia) and I also do some local community work. At home, I enjoy the company of my husband and our three children. I also enjoy preparing dishes for our fun little ‘dining club’ and once in a while, I like to let loose and make a lot of noice at Jembé lessons. ”

“ I am direct and always interested in new technologies. My goal as a software engineer is to contribute to the future. At Moving Spirits I work towards this goal by implementing smart systems within the back-end. When my working day is done, I often spend my time on playing computer games. In the special case that I disconnect myself from the computer, I like to hang out with friends and watch bad horror movies. ”

“ I’m responsible for the infrastructure at Moving Spirits. Software & system engineering is my hobby, my passion, and my job. Always looking for ways to improve our systems with new insights and techniques makes me happy. In my spare time, I enjoy taking walks with my wife and our two dogs, scrambling in survival runs, creating with electronics, cooking, watching films, reading books, and much more… I have too many hobbies 🙂 ”
