The solution reduces the number of cars needed to service a given number of users. The Amber service is easy to use, convenient, affordable, and environmentally friendly, for both private users, commuters and companies. With Amber, users have on-demand access to mobility. No other car sharing platform in the world has developed a solution that can guarantee users mobility whenever and wherever they need it. Amber stands for true mobility on demand.Car users today, whether they own or lease for private or corporate purposes, all struggle with three main problems: cost and hassle, inefficiency, and negative environmental impact. These problems are caused by our relationship with cars and how we use them today. Our vision is to be able to provide on-demand mobility for everybody.Being responsible for Sales since the beginning period is a vast challenge and a wonderful adventure. My responsibility is to realize the ambitions of our company, together with a team of young professionals. We are striving to become the number one mobility provider in the Netherlands: engaging with potential partners is the first step to success. And, it's a huge honour to do so.Visit our website to learn more about Amber and myself!www.driveamber.com/posts/jarno-van-der-linden Show less
