My passion for Schiphol
David de Vries
Product Owner stakeholder engagement View LinkedIn profileMy colleagues motivate and inspire me to take my work one step further, every day!
I started my Schiphol adventure in 2015 when I was a second-year communications student. I was immediately sold, and began as a trainee. Based on my internship research, I wrote a strategic plan, which I am now implementing as an employee.
My colleagues motivate and inspire me to take my work one step further, every day! They are open to change. This makes Schiphol a fantastic first workplace. If you have good ideas, you can really make them happen.

I work as a Strategic Advisor, and my work brings me into contact with many departments at Schiphol. It's great to know that my colleagues are open to new ideas, and I also learn a lot from all aviation knowledge and experience that is present at Schiphol. Schiphol is a tremendously inspiring work environment. Even though my work is more geared toward long term goals, I always stay connected to the daily dynamics.
