An introduction from our new Global Controller, Martijn Dieben
When asked to introduce myself to all customers and
employees via this magazine, it seemed a bit overwhelming.
I have only been around for a short time and there are many
distinguished customers and over 300 staff out there, all
over the world. And that’s not counting our agents and
distributors around the globe. Nevertheless, I relish the
opportunity to say hello to you all and welcome you to
this summer issue of Reflections.
My name is Martijn Dieben, I live in Amsterdam
and have been working for <strong>AkzoNobel</strong> since
May 2008 after working in various Controlling
positions at TNT for 7 years. When it became
clear that my predecessor, Herman Lovink,
would leave <strong>Aerospace</strong> <strong>Coatings</strong>, I embraced
the opportunity to (try) and walk in his
footsteps. I joined <strong>Aerospace</strong> <strong>Coatings</strong> early
April this year and have spent a lot of my time
acquainting myself with the people and the
organization. So far, it has been a blast.
I very much look forward to meeting you,
our customers and staff, over time and
learn about your business, your wants,
needs and expectations from <strong>AkzoNobel</strong>
<strong>Aerospace</strong> <strong>Coatings</strong>.
We want to work together with our customers
to smooth the flow of transactions and to
the best of our ability make the interaction
between the companies constructive and
beneficial to both.
Faithfully,
Martijn Dieben
Global Controller
