'At Schiphol, we strive for a sustainable and reliable relationship with the market parties we do business with. After all, the success of our airport is partly determined by an efficient and transparent collaboration with our suppliers. Responsible for procurement and contract management, the Procurement & Contracting department plays an important role in that. By continuously focusing on both the quality of work for our colleagues and the quality of our services to airlines and travellers, we contribute to achieving Schiphol's objectives. It gives me great pleasure that I get to lead this department as Chief Procurement Officer.'
