Born in Holland but prefer the mountains to the canals... I moved to Switzerland but still enjoy an occasional Heineken beer, a real stroopwafel, or watching the Dutch football team lose at the most important moments.

Audrey Bussien - Head of Logistics

Fighting every day not to eat chocolate in excess because there is a lot of temptation at the office. On the other hand running away from the enemy is for cowards...
