I decided to write to you, because we're probably VERY distant cousins. My ancestor farmers left Couenhoven, I'm told a part of modern day Amersfoort, in 1625! I have visited the Reichsmuseum a few times, I sweat that one of the Princes of Orange, in all those portraits of the Dutch leaders in the 80 Years War, is the spitting image of my father. Ah, I suppose those princes got around in those days .....

How can we collaborate?

We have an unlimited opportunity to place professionals of all types in ex-patriot assignments in Saudi Arabia. As you may know, there are about 6 million ex-patriots running the country at the operational level, and they “need everything.” They have Midas’s problem, which is they must invest about US$1 billion every week between now and 2020. This represents a monumental opportunity for people “in the know” to put aside a “nest egg” and gain experience at a higher level than one can achieve with similar qualifications and experience in the USA, Europe or Japan.
