Dirk has more than 20 years’ experience working in the fields of marketing and communication. Starting his career in a small owner-managed Healthcare agency he moved quickly to client’s side working in the marketing departments for well-known, global brands such as Deutsche Post DHL, Sony and Johnson + Johnson.
