About Me
Hi there, my name is Rutger. I’m a native Dutch student at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
I follow the English track of the International Business Administration studies. Therefore, I am familiar with different fields of expertise within the business sector.
I have an eye for detail, a various skillset, and am always on the hunt for new challenges!
My Story
From Manager To Student
After middle school, I decided to go for a gap year. During this time, I started working at a sales company and quickly became project manager. I enjoyed this role a lot and it was on my mind 24/7. I was always aiming for new targets, motivating the teams, and thinking of new incentives to push them even further. I knew I was interested in business and this role sparked my interests even further to eventually have me start the International Business Administration studies.
IBA
My studies are fully in English and internationally-oriented. It covers various business aspects and increased my skill-set significantly. In specific my consultancy skills. Furthermore, I met many international students and expanded my network along the way.
The track includes an exchange program, where I had to follow courses at a university in a different country. I decided to go to Tarragona, Spain and threw myself into the unknown. I stayed there for 1 semester and got to know people from all over the world, that I can now call my friends.
IBA has not just improved my skills, it has broadened my scope and changed my mindset.
Interests
I love everything-tech. From the new Apple Vision Pro, to the insane NVIDIA stock surge, and Bitcoin hitting a new All-Time-High!
Innovation, sustainability, and culture are repeated subjects in my studies that also gained my attention.
