“I have been very lucky to have Hans as a manager for the last 5 years at Quest. He is the most motivational and dedicated manager I worked for. His informal style makes him very approachable and helps him to get closed to the people around him. Hans is highly professional and has a very positive view on life with great values. It’s a real pleasure to work with him.” September 3, 2008

reported to Hans-Jaap at Quest Software

“Hans worked for me for a period of two years in the capacity of Senior HR Director for the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. This area encompasses all of the countries within this georgraphy. Hans built an organization of HR Managers for each of the major countries and had responsibility for all Staffing, Employee Relations, Compensation and Benefits as well as Training and Development and HRIS. The employee populations supported was approximately 600. Hans joined Quest Software almost five years ago and played a significant role in helping to build this region from the ground up. Today, EMEA represents about 48% of Global revenues. Most noteworthy in Hans achievements was his focus on training and development. He build New Employee oreination programs as well as ongoing development training across all of the Functional areas. This is significant as recruiting throughout Europe has always been a challenge and having a program that reduces turnover while insuring new managers are ready to assume greater responsibilities is a key "value add" to the business. Hans is very well versed in all of the legal issues across the region with regards to hiring, social benefits as well as terminations requirements which vary greatly in each of the major countries. I would highly recommend Hans for any similar role within an enterprise that has a significant EMEA presence.” August 20, 2008
