As of May first Michiel Ribbens started in the role of\u00a0sales engineer. Time to hear him out about his background and his role at Minerva. \u00a0<\/em> \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0When I was about eight years old I wanted to work into the field of technology. As a youngster I was always busy building things with Lego and Meccano. I also quickly became fascinated with airplanes. I followed an MBO 4 training and did an internship at Woensdrecht where I was able to work on F16 fighter jets. I also studied aeronautical technology in Delft for a year.<\/p>\n

My first job was in the food industry, where I worked for more than three years as a service employee at the American company Heat and Control. I got a lot of responsibility there, I had a lot of customer contact, flew all over the world and gradually got more and more sales tasks.<\/p>\n

After that I worked in sales at the Swiss company Kistler, which is active in the sale of sensors in the high-tech market. They have customers in the aerospace industry, for example Airbus.<\/p>\n

Minerva is a Kistler customer. In 2018 I met Carel Adolfse from Minerva at VSL in Delft for an introduction of a data acquisition and ballistics sensor purchased by Minerva.<\/p>\n

After an introduction to Henk the following year, I was approached earlier this year whether I was interested in a position at Minerva. After a number of good conversations I became enthusiastic and started May 1 as a sales engineer.<\/p>\n

I find Minerva a very interesting company because of my affinity with technology, sales and service. What I like is that as a sales engineer at Minerva I have the opportunity to visit customers. I find service and clear communication important and strongly believe in personal contact!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
