Title: Managing Director EVP 
Employers: Bioriginal Europe / Asia B.V.

Working environment

“As Bioriginal had a challenge in July 2016 to introduce an ERP system and we were with a small crew, we asked Olaf van der Linden to support us and help us out in the newly created department of support, new product development and production.

His mission was to guide us through the ERP implementation and use all his experience to make sure the departments (incl. business teams) would be able to cope with that.

Olaf did a great job in making sure all the elements for the pre-prep where envisioned and clearly planned for.  Within a very short time he was able to give me, the Managing Director, lots of advice on a strategic level how to improve the business and the exposure of Bioriginal to our new markets and customer base.”

“As a person, Olaf is very skilled in getting to know the business very fast and guiding me on various elements. He is very structured in his way of working and stays very well connected to the MD in making sure things are picked up and prioritized accordingly.

I worked really well with him. He is easy in talking and a helping hand on various levels within the company, but also always makes sure the business decides.

He is pro-active, enthusiastic and has a lot of positive energy. Very fast it feels as if he is an employee of the company. His structured but also strict way of working, his openness and excellent detailed listening skills are exemplary of what you want someone hired as an interim manager to be.”
