Time is flying and the end of the trainee program is coming to an end.

I have been in the US for approx 3 months now and it’s been a great experience with hard work, laughter, and a lot of travelling. I have been in charge for the business development for the Southern US market so you can imagine the traveling I have done during 11 weeks now.  The great memories that I’ll take with me involve for example morning surf in La Jolla, San Diego, saying grace with a customer in the desert , and having a nice coffee break among the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

Both Johan and I have been working very hard and it’s been paying off so we can leave US with our heads held high! We are about to finalise our project and looking forward to a nice Christmas party with not only our American colleagues but also people from HQ and their families.

Our Company Owner flew over to US in the beginning of November to discuss our future at Handheld. The positions are not official so I won’t be able to mention the outlook yet but what I can say is that it is a great program and hard work really pays off.

Happy thanksgiving!

I just got back from The Netherlands…

Handheld Benelux is one of our subsidiaries and located in The Netherlands. The idea behind my trip to The Netherlands was to acknowledge how the Benelux colleagues are conducting business and implement the advantages to the relevant subsidiaries across the world.  Another reason of visiting the actual Benelux office was also to be part of an exceptional project with the idea of bringing that knowledge across several countries and states. I am truly amazed by the Dutch hospitality and the English skills. And of course World Cup started when I was there and the entire nation turned orange. Hup Holland:-)
