Find your networking balance

Speaker: Mieke Damen

In the light of the various opportunities to build up one’s network, we often ask ourselves what is the most effective networking strategy? Shall I focus on networks within my company or outside of the workplace? To find the right networking balance is crucial in order to succeed and Mieke Damen, a true networking professional, is going to share her approach with us.

Mieke Damen, currently Vice President Operations at Mexx Europe, started her impressive career at Nike in 1980 when she joined the company at its very early start in Europe. She quickly developed with the company and held different positions in sales and operations, both in Holland and in the US.

When Mieke received the offer to work for Mexx in 1985, the company was still in its baby shoes which gave her the amazing opportunity to work with the original founders and grow with the company. Over the years Mieke assumed a wide variety of functions in areas like sales, customer service, procurement and logistics.

In 2006 she was promoted to the board of Mexx Europe Holding as Vice President Operations and is currently responsible for all administrative and physical flows of orders and Mexx products.

In addition to her demanding job, Mieke has two passions: improving the world of logistics via innovation and creating more diversity in the world of logistics as well as at board levels by helping women in their professional development. These two passions are reflected in many of her side activities in advisory boards, networks and as a member of the Commissie van Laarhoven.

Participants are welcome to network from 19:00 to 20:00.
The program begins at 20:00.
