The Dutch government would like to create a register of women who qualify for a top positions in a big company.
Minister Jet Bussemaker (Emancipation) together with Hans de Boer, President of VNO-NCW will be responsible for creating te database.

That is a spokeswoman for the minister said Wednesday in response to a message from the NRC. With this register Bussemakerhuis wants to avoid that s Brussels imposes the Netherlands a quota of women who must occupy a leading position.

De Boer and Bussemakerhuis will be talking to the companies directly with request to suggest at least five women who would be perfect for such a high position and therefore should be included in the database. '' Those women are there for sure. I see them around me, '' said Bussemakerhuis in the newspaper.

The database would prove that the claim that such women are not to be found is untrue.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands
