Gerrit is enjoying a career with several “Forrest Gump” similarities and experienced various “subcultures”. I was trained as a platoon commander and was fortunate to work for leading enterprises such as Royal Dutch Shell and Rabobank. After my corporate career I worked in the online gaming industry where I worked alongside highly creative and inspiring people. I have a strong passion for HR and Technology and can combine with Appical those elements in order to drastically improve the new hire experience with an engaging mobile app and appealing content. Appical offers a priority boarding experience to new hires and has won several awards such as the iHR Award in 2013 as best HR Technology. Appical’s client base consists of large international enterprises such as e.g. Philips, Ahold, Seagate and KLM.
