MEET DOUWE
After his studies Douwe Dijkstra started his career at Dutch publishing company Wolters Kluwer in a general finance role. Already soon he decided to specialize in treasury for his entire career although realizing that best results are achieved when corporate treasures strongly cooperate with other finance disciplines like tax, legal, IT and accounting.
After several treasury roles at multinational companies like Royal Wessanen and Sara Lee Douwe Egberts, Douwe decided to start offering his global treasury experience as an (interim) treasury consultant in 2008. During the last 12 years interim assignments were successfully completed at companies like Kuwait Petroleum, Royal BAM Group, Naspers and VION Food Group.
In 2014 Douwe successfully completed the post graduate course treasury management at VU Amsterdam University publishing a thesis about “cash pooling in Central and Eastern Europe”.
