Introduction
Contractor Baas BV is a family-owned company with more than 1,000 employees that designs, builds and maintains energy, water and data networks.
xentys was approached by the interim HR director of Baas B.V. to fill the head of procurement position on an interim basis during a hectic period. Although there was initially a preference for candidates from the industry, they ultimately chose someone with broad purchasing experience in other sectors. This turned out to be a good choice. We asked the CFO about the impact of our procurement professional on the team and the organization.
Manager of Purchasing a.i. Marco Knuist
Marco is a management-level procurement professional with broad sector experience. He brought that knowledge to Baas BV. Marco's mission was to lead the procurement team and bring to fruition a number of just-won, large contracts.
Feedback from Baas B.V.
Jacob de Graaf Director of Finance
"I am perfectly satisfied with what Marco has done. He achieved more than expected. The most important additional result was that Marco combined the procurement of Baas B.V. with that of the sister company, creating synergy and significant savings. Marco was hired to lead and train the procurement team on procurement, which he did very well."
Conclusion
At xentys, we are delighted that Marco Knuist has been placed at Baas B.V. as interim head of procurement. His broad experience has led to synergy and significant cost savings by combining sister company procurement processes. Marco has had a positive impact on the team and the organization.
