Why Interfood?
Already 21 years ago
Interfood was brought under my attention by
coincidence. It turned out to be a very positive change in my career.
I have seen Interfood growing into a global leading company. But
Interfood, as a family owned company, always kept it’s “family
feeling” which I find very comfortable. Interfood takes very good
care of it’s employees.
What do you
expect from your new colleague?
Somebody with
hands-on mentality, able to work accurately within structures but
from the other hand also being able to think out of the box.
What do you do in
your spare time?
I like to play the
drums in a percussion band once every week. This musical hobby, which
I have since my child-hood, I also now share with my kids (3 boys).
One of them plays the piano and the other two also play drums.
