A cheerful guy with finance in his genes
You cannot miss Joris (31) with his twinkling eyes and broad smile. He and his wife Danielle live in Veldhoven with their contact pet dog Dirk. By the way, contact dog Dirk is not their pet: Daniëlle works with people with dementia. Dirk provides some extra color to their lives every day. This immediately says something about Joris' motivation: ‘It just makes me happy to help people. Both privately and in my work.’
A love for numbers is in Joris' blood. Well, what are your options if your sister is a chartered accountant, your brother-in-law a controller and your brother working in a financial position at a pension fund? Joris' father, on the other hand, is a true maker, and headed a steel company’s workshop for years. Later he made the switch to account manager. ‘I like the fact that my job at Gielissen straddles both these aspects: controller at a company in the manufacturing industry.’
