Education/Background

"I'm currently studying for my SPD accounting administration degree. This gives me the perfect opportunity to put theory into practice, as well as use my practical experience to discuss and challenge the theory." 

What do you do at Crucell?

“As Assistant Accounting Manager my work involves collecting financial information and reporting the figures to management. Supervising the accounting assistants and making sure we administrate the correct data to produce a sound financial result at the end of the month, quarter and year, are several of my main shared responsibilities.

"I joined Crucell shortly after the company had its IPO. At that stage, our finance administration had to be set up and organized. This was a great learning experience and taught me how to structure and build something from the ground up, which I can use again today, as Crucell is going through yet another period of change after having acquired Berna Biotech. The diversity and dynamics of this company is what makes my work so interesting, as you need to be structured and accurate, yet flexible and open to change.”

What do you like about working at Crucell?

“It’s fantastic to see how much we’ve grown as a department and organization to become an internationally operating company with projects around the globe. I find it exciting to work for the biotech industry with its R&D and project driven focus, which is quite particular for finance administration. What I also like about working at Crucell is that we still have very direct communication lines and an informal working atmosphere.”

Any time left for hobbies or sports?

“If I don’t spend my time playing or watching my favourite sport, football, you can find me having a good meal or enjoying a few drinks with friends in my hometown, Leiden!”
