Hans van Breukelen, former goalkeeper of the Dutch National Football Team that won the European Championship in 1988 hosts this episode. A success still unmatched. In the same year, Hans also won the European Cup I (now the Champions League).
He interviews Cynthia van de Moosdijk, owner of the company Pelican Worldwide, and joins her on a visit to her birthplace, ’s-Gravendeel. It’s a compelling conversation with a successful woman thriving in an industrial, male-dominated world.
Cynthia shares stories from her youth, including the hardcore music parties she loved. A beautiful childhood filled with personal memories. Her career path has also been eventful. From her first job in a cigar shop to studying Animal Sciences, then moving on to work at an accountancy firm and later in a party bar. Cynthia still had to develop an interest in working at Pelican Worldwide at that time.
Eventually, Cynthia joined her father's company and discovered the surprising and exciting side of the industrial world. She grew more and more at home in it. In a male-dominated field, she immediately stood out and had to prove herself time and again to be taken seriously.
She absolutely succeeded. Cynthia has now been the owner and CEO of Pelican Worldwide for many years. Under her leadership, the company has grown into a global organization, known for innovation and premium quality.
From studying Animal Sciences to ambitiously and successfully running Pelican Worldwide. It truly is possible!
