Welcome Mike van Strien

/in ,

On September 1, 2022, our new colleague Mike van Strien started as Business Manager. Mike is an experienced Business Manager. His focus is on building solid and personal relationships with professionals and clients. We are pleased with our new colleague and are happy to let Mike introduce himself.

Mike van Strien, 35 years old and living in Berkel-Enschot with my wife Anouk and sons Raff (3) and Dex (2). Besides working I am involved with the local football club as an assistant coach of the first team and I am a real club man.

I like to spend the time that is left with friends or of course my family. A day out, a nice drink with friends, or just relaxing and watching a series on Netflix can all make me happy.

Employed at G-Nius since September 2022, but before that, I had many years of experience in the world of secondment.

My strength lies in being personal. Connecting on a personal level is necessary to build a strong relationship in which I can advise or support a client or professional in their company or career.

Through attention and genuine interest, I am able to find out what motivates and drives someone and I can embark on a journey with someone to get the most out of their career.

Are you curious about how Mike can help you as professionals or clients? Then contact him at mvanstrien@g-nius.nl or +31 6 29 45 08 12.

Welcome Jurgen von Schmidt

/in ,

This week Jurgen von Schmidt started as Junior Business Manager at G-Nius. Jurgen is a third-year Business Administration student and is following his education at the Avans University of Applied Sciences in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

As Junior Business Manager, Jurgen will support his colleagues in the coming six months and get to know the internal processes better. In addition, he focused on the theme of Employer Branding and its effect on our company.

Jurgen likes to introduce himself:

“My name is Jurgen and I am 21 years old. I would dare to say I am passionate about weightlifting and expanding my knowledge. I really enjoy learning new things. That is why I regularly watch documentaries and read books (non-fiction) on many different topics in my spare time.

I also spend a big part of my spare time on weightlifting, it helps me relax and free up my mind. Besides that, I also just enjoy coming home tired with a feeling of fulfillment.

I follow an internship at G-Nius as a Junior Business Manager since the end of August. This internship is part of my business study. In addition to working as a Junior Business Manager, I am going to work as a Business Administrator on researching employer branding for G-Nius.“

So a combination of doing things, sightseeing, and the beach.

Difficult, depends on the moment. Usually wine, but I also really enjoy a special beer.

Exercising! And preferably in nature.

Dog.
