About me

My name is Marcel van der Donk and I currently live in Amsterdam where I work on an interim basis.

As you can read in my CV I am a highly experienced Implementation- and Studio Manager with a vast background knowledge in packaging roll-outs and print processes.

Being aware that this role is very crucial during the whole process, I'm always focussed on details with a highly accurate style (after all, I've got German roots). Based upon my international and technical experiences I know how to communicate with all the relevant parties like Client Services, Design and Production, to keep all processes running as efficient as possible and keep the team motivated.

Hope hearing from you and looking forward to pick a date for our first appointment.
