Business card:
Flying means broadening your horizon and seeing the world from an extraordinary perspective. According to Pieter, an airplane represents freedom, adventure and ambition. “A glider is a special kind of airplane. For a glider, making progress depends on natures forces in the form of an invisible source of power. Organizations too operate and act on the basis of invisible energy. It is a challenge to transform this energy into action and progress. As a communication consultant, I try to see things from an extraordinary perspective, and transform the existing energy into results.
