• Growth Mindset: You can easily identify growth opportunities, presenting strategic recommendations and contributing to new business pitches is a part of your track record.
• Clear communication: You have that consultant mindset where you naturally take charge of the conversation, and you don’t lose your footing when a client asks those tough, unexpected questions.
• Language Proficiency: You have strong Dutch and English communication skills, both written and spoken.
