“I've had, and still have, the pleasure of working with Dirk. He's proven himself as a solid leader. He's not the type to sit back and remain in a status-quo, he's always looking ahead and wanting to move forward. When he knows where he wants to go, he's decisive. When he doesn't, he seeks input and advice from people he trusts and whose opinion he respects, whether or not they agree with his own opinions. What stands out about Dirk is his ability to get people excited about their work. He's good at motivating his team and the rest of the organisation, while keeping things grounded in reality. His strong technical background and broad interests as a generalist also allow him to participate meaningfully in technical discussions across different areas. He genuinely cares about the human side of business, which is valuable in any leadership role. At times he will lighten up conversations and build team spirit with humour and wit, but he's also straightforward in his feedback: when something needs improvement, he'll say so clearly and directly. All these things are part of what makes Dirk an effective leader and a pleasure to work with. Vision, practicality, technical insight and honest communication create an environment where teams can do their best work.”
