Max Verstappen appointed Tech Talent Leader at Exact

Business software provider Exact, has announced that Max Verstappen – the youngest Formula 1 winner ever – will join the company as Tech Talent Leader from the 1st June 2016.

Verstappen will create content exclusively for members of Exact’s Tech Talent scheme, which will look at his story. His determination and ambition will be used to inspire talent within Exact.

With Verstappen’s racing career going from strength to strength, Exact sees the potential to harness both his story and character in a unique way – to coach talent within the company. As an advisor to Exact’s HR Board, Verstappen stresses the importance of creating the perfect environment for young talent to flourish.

Max Verstappen commented: “Talent is important if you want to reach the top. Just like focus and determination. You need to be eager to learn new things and quickly adapt to unexpected situations. No matter how talented you are, you’ll never become truly successful without teamwork and collaboration. Using my own story as an example, I will make clear to Exact’s team that realising goals is fun but also requires a lot of hard work.”

Erik van der Meijden, CEO Exact is pleased with his company’s latest hire: “We know Max as an exceptionally gifted race driver so I’m certain that he will be a huge inspiration to everyone at Exact. We have several initiatives, like the Tech Talent program, to provide an engaging environment that enables our people to further exptend international success.
