I am Paul van het Hof, 41 years old, a father of 3 children, and married to Emilie. Together with our 3 dogs, 5 cats, 2 pigs, 2 horses, and 12 chickens, we reside in Voorschoten.

Allow me to provide you with a brief overview of who I am and what motivates me.

Growing up in a family immersed in the retail industry, my passion for this field was instilled in me from a young age. My father would take me on store visits and during holidays, I had the opportunity to work in the distribution center. Retail, as I observed it, always meant hard work, which prompted me to start working in stores from the age of 15. My career began here, with a keen focus on consumers, colleagues, and the entire team.

This aligns with my disposition and what brings me joy at the workplace – an environment that values the product, the consumer, and the team. I am inclined to take leadership roles, enabling my team to flourish. I look ahead, seeking

opportunities and possibilities, and I embrace challenges willingly. I amenthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and skills to foster optimal growth among employees and the companies I work with.
