Excellent support in difficult times. Good listener, clear view, does not hesitate to show people the reality in the interests of the continuity of the organization.

Sparring partner Vitalent
Happy is an excellent "mirror". He is not only a fast analyizer and immediately detects weak points in an argumentation, but also subsequently adds valuable input without forcing his opinion onto it. Our conversations where very constructive and on top of that a lot of fun, if it where only for his phenomenal one-liners. Don't forget to visit this section on his website.
Drs. Ing. Matthijs Vermoolen, managing consultant, Vitalent

Supervisory board HAT
He was asked to join as supervisory board member for his knowledge and network of the Dutch manufacturing industry, but after the market problems that arose at one of the major shareholders and biggest customer, he proved to show his second strength: at the right time building bridges and bringing back emotions to normal proportions.
Ir Jaap J. Stapel, former managing director HAT (Holec Algemene Toelevering)

Sparring partner Braamhaar Hoveniers
In a business environment that is totally new to Happy, he knows to analyze the strong and weak issues very fast. Through his many contacts in the business, I came into contact with some very special people active in marketing.
Happy, a good listener, full of humor and always asking until the bottom; Very enlighting. His contribution lead to a practicable working plan in straight forward language, which leads to breakthroughs in the market.
Jan Braamhaar, dir. Braamhaar Hoveniers
