jean frangois van boxmeer nationality: belgian date of birth: 12-09-1961 born in: brussels How did you join Heineken, and when? How did you join Heineken, and when? "After studying at the University of Groningen, I went on a student traineeship for Heineken in Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaïre). After I'd graduated, I had the choice to work for Heineken or for Unilever. In the end it was the people at Heineken and the brand that tipped the scales. That initial introduction then became a traineeship, during which I worked for six months in Democratic Republic of Congo and Malaysia, then in the Netherlands. During my subsequent two-year management traineeship I worked in disciplines such as finance, production and marketing. The working atmosphere in all the various places I worked in during that time made me sure that my choice for Heineken was right. Everyone enjoys working here." "Heineken was my first employer. I started in September 1984, as a management trainee. After graduating I first worked as a trainee in Gabon for Stella Artois. That was before it became part of Interbrew. Via my two-year management traineeship I got to know Heineken well. In Den Bosch I learnt how to brew beer, in other places within the organisation I was able to familiarise myself with production, commercial and accounting operations, and also with working abroad. I was sent out to Cameroon for six months. Lots of things to discover, I enjoyed all of it."
