Vincent Willems van Beveren – Business Development Manager

Vincent Willems van Beveren, BE Grad Cert EEM, has come on board with Demand Manager in October 2010 and has since then hold the position of Business Development Manager.

Vincent has a background as a Process Engineer in different manufacturing industries in The Netherlands and Australia. Being extensively exposed to a wide range of environmental legislation related practices, he has developed a passion for the environment, and sustainability in particular. He also has extensive experience as a household sustainability assessor.

Vincent considers the role as BDM with Demand Manager to be a great opportunity to be part of the growing green industry, and to make energy and water saving practices more accessible to organisations. It is time to act on climate change now, and the fact that Demand Manager has tripled in size over the last years is a sign that many organisations have heard this message.
