Meet our new colleague, Mandy!
Hi Mandy, can you introduce yourself?
I am Mandy van der Meijden, almost 33 years old and living together with my family in Kerkdriel (Netherlands). My partner and I have been together for 18 years and have a son Sem (8 years old) and a daughter Tess (6 years old). Since March 1, I started as HR Business Partner NL to further expand Advipro in the Netherlands. Before this, I worked at various organizations in different HR positions which gave me a broad HR knowledge in addition to my Human Resources Management studies.
Why Advipro?
Last October I came in contact with Advipro for the position of HR Business Partner for the Netherlands. Advipro really appealed to me because of the dynamic and modern character of the organization. An organization that wants to move forward and not stand still, I really like that!
How did you experience the first weeks at Advipro?
It feels like a warm welcome! It's a new field for me, but through all the transfers and trainings the puzzle pieces are slowly falling together. Every day I learn a little bit more about Advipro and so I can pick it up from the Netherlands.

HR Business Partner, what do you do?
As HR Business Partner, I am responsible for Advipro Netherlands to further expand the workforce. How do I do that? Of course with recruitment, network expansion and job fairs! In addition, I often work on everything else related to HR for the Netherlands. Think about personnel policy, payroll, absenteeism, webinars, etc.
Describe yourself in three words.
Positive, helpful, enthusiastic.
What do you do when you are not at work?
My free time obviously consists of a lot of time with my family. Doing fun things together, weekends away, going on vacation etc. In addition, my agenda is always well filled with dinners or dates with my girlfriends.
Closer, add: you can always wake me up for....
A big breakfast in bed with my family!
