Peter Harperink

My passion lies within innovative solutions (preferably in the digital world). I have great interest in people management, creative thinking, selling ideas and innovative products and maintaining customer relations. Within these aspects, I am always problem-solving oriented. Oh, and I also like to be a Furniture Carpenter once in a while.
