What are the Dutch like?

I think it's a question of opportunity because within Netherlands, by the way,

Netherlands has one of the most highest number of startups within Europe, if not the highest.

So there is this culture of innovation that's already embedded in there.

It's happening all the time.

Companies like Philips, ASML, some of the very big players already there.

So it could be a little bit different, I think,

In Netherlands, we want to make sure what we are doing really is going to work.

So there's a little bit of discussion alignment.

It's more structured, but also agile in a way we do things.

And US was more like, let's do, let's go quick, experiment, learn, fail.

So I think there's pros and cons on both sides, but so far it's quite good.

First of all, it starts with the calendar and the number of meetings I have, which is usually filled for 40 hours or longer in the week.

So that's the starting point.

And then I have to pick and choose which meetings I need to prepare for what.

And usually these meetings are mostly about where are we with the product?

What are the challenges?

How can I help and solve it?

And then sometimes also pitching new products or convincing something.

and also sometimes change management.
