THE STORY ABOUT PETER VAN DONGEN
source: van Olphen
I’ve been sitting at an oval table in Centric’s large conference room for two hours when Peter van Dongen, the financial man on the board, states his motto: ‘happiness is something that you create yourself’. He does so with conviction and yet, I can’t help myself from thinking that it sounds a little naive coming from a man, with his extensive responsibilities and his personal story, who knows that prosperity can be fragile. He chuckles and catches me by surprise.
