During my studies I came to the conclusion that I didn&#8217;t want to be a teacher in front of a school class. I started working in a technical wholesale company and after 18 years I left this company as an operations manager.<\/p>\n<p>Because I wanted a new job with more social responsibility, I started to work for an organisation specialised in working with disabled people, physical as well intellectually limited. I was responsible for the industrial department, from very simple packaging work to a bicycle factory, from assembling LED tube lights to medical equipment, built in a cleanroom. After 6 years I missed the dynamism of the commercial world and looked around for a new opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>That was the time when I started working for Victron Energy. For almost 4 years now and every day I enjoy my job. Victron is a company with a lot of freedom and self responsibility, innovative and successful &#8211; that\u2019s what appeals to me about this work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-blogpost-content wp-image-10700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492-690x920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492-690x920.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492-730x973.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/08\/Leo-Yntema-phone_47265492.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to my work, I\u2019m also committed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dorcas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dorcas Aid International<\/a> on a voluntarily basis. Dorcas is a Christian charity organisation with projects in Eastern Europe and Africa. They collect money through subsidies, donations and the sales of new and used products in their 30 shops all over the Netherlands. For the shop in Sneek I\u2019m the chairman of the board and together with 80 volunteers we run the business. All goods sold in the shop are come from individuals and companies who carry a warm hart for Dorcas.<\/p>\n<p>To stay in shape, I try to take a ride on my road bicycle or MTB once or twice a week. During such rides I love to use all my energy &#8211; after that though I always find a little more for a glass of cold beer.
