Our Dutch Team

Reinier loves food, in all its forms: to talk about it, to make it and, of course, to eat it.

In business terms, this manifests itself in Reinier's efforts to introduce food brands and Private Label into the foodservice market, and then to develop and grow them further among end customers. In his private life, Reinier can be found every month at his cooking club Les Amis de Cuisine.

When Reinier is not eating, he is sailing with friends in his little boat. 

Nalinie has been a loyal member of the Foodservice team for years. As a vegetarian with Surinamese roots, she is always open to trying new dishes in world cuisine.

When she is not stirring the cooking pots, she likes to go out for a walk, a nice party or a nice holiday with family or friends. A family visit to Suriname is also on her annual agenda.

Meet Evie, our Foodservice Manager. She manages our Belgian and Dutch team on the one hand and is always on the lookout for trends and new opportunities in the market on the other. 

This cheerful positivo sees every day as a new day, full of new possibilities and chances to learn. She thinks in terms of solutions - no challenge is too big for her - she works in a structured way and is happy when deadlines are met. A flexible team player, she is always there for everyone. She never turns down an invitation to have a drink or dinner with friends or colleagues, and she is not the first to go home either. This persevering woman likes to roll up her sleeves, does not like to sit still but can also enjoy a quiet moment with a good book.

Her batteries are recharged in nature, exploring the smallest paths and roads, both in her own region and far beyond.

New to the team, Ophélie, our enthusiastic marketer who helps represent our foodservice brands as Trade Marketer & Brand Manager.

As the youngest team member within the Foodservice team, she brings a fresh perspective and dynamism to the team. After five years' experience as a research consultant, she made the move to Pietercil in 2024 to maintain her affinity and insights gained in FMCG and take on new challenges.

Ophélie is known as a true brand ambassador; her camera roll is full of pictures of our brands that she keeps spotting during her free time. She strongly believes in the power of teamwork: "Together you achieve more." She can also be found both passively and actively on tennis and padel courts. According to her, Federer is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time), but happy to discuss!

Whether at work or on the court, Ophélie is always 100% committed, ready to reach new heights together with the team.
