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.”
