E.96 Dirk van Reenen
Dirk runs an 'out of the box' team building business - give us a few minutes, and you'll see why Dirk is one to watch in the Home Industry Scene. Here's a little more about Dirk and his company Bergflow:
When you put BERG and flow together you get a company that is driven and built to take on big challenges in the way that we can experience the state of flow when we work.
After Founder and CEO Dirk van Reenen's life was turned around by the team he built, a deep fascination was developed for how humans work, communicate, and perform together in the business world.
Bergflow has made it their mission, our focus to help business owners and leaders build better businesses by building the best teams.
It's our way of changing the world, one business at a time...
