  Toyota Industrial Equipment Nederland B.V.

  Jan 2000 - Jun 2001

  Accounting Officer

  I have joined this company for a project after a not very succesful introduction of SAP. I was responsible to set up and design the internal reporting, since reporting out of SAP was not reliable. I have joined several management meetings and was involved in the process to find an alternative for SAP. After this software selection process I quitted, also because the set-up of a reliable internal reporting was done and my project came to an end.It certainly is a nice company and I have enjoyed my stay and learned a lot in this short time.
