profile picture Maringo Vlijter

My name is Maringo Vlijter.

As a former soccer player at Go Ahead Eagles, FC Utrecht and a student college division I athlete at Xavier University I have a professional sport mindset in everything I do. Whether this was my study (Bachelor Communications, Bachelor Political Science, Master International Relations) or during my work; performance, focus, team spirit, growth and development has always been the driver in my work and personal life. With Vlijter Management Solutions we will support companies to make their next steps to become more focused, competitive and therefore profitable. Besides this, as a Dutch-Surinamese professional, having studied in The Netherlands and the USA, worked in Scandinavia and within global matrix structures I embrace diversity in all shapes and forms. I have seen and experienced how embracing differences brings the best focus in business while increasing work satisfaction.
