About Steven

Innovator, Transformator, Spin Doctor, Strategist, Technology-driven, Leader and Entrepreneur

Core Values: Integrity, Respect, Humbleness

For me tax is not only about controlling the risks and avoiding surprises, it is also about adding value. By working from the core of the company, being part of the business (instead of being a business partner), breaking silo's and truly understanding what other functions within the company do, I have been very successful in driving value for the companies I have worked for.

During my career, I have led various teams with broader responsibilities than just the tax function. As a result, I also have strong knowledge of Finance, Legal and Treasury. And on top of that, I focus on my team, their capabilities, where they can excel and how we can really operate as a team in order to become even more successful.
