8. Working with Henk for the same purpose: the global positioning and identity branding of producers of authentic Greek
food products, I found in Henk a super driven partner, coach, mentor and co-developer. Even though marketing Greek
products is often a bumpy road, Henk has always shown an unstoppable energy and expertise to present and develop
every level of his brand, anywhere in the world to anyone he chose fit to be partner. 'No-nonsense', 'Exciting' and
'Inspiring' are only the first 3 characteristics that come to mind when thinking of Henk's commitment and work. You have
a serious brand, with a serious aim for a serious market? I'd definitely have a chat with Henk!” October 16, 2009
