William Bastiaan’s Summary

After having had several finance/credit related positions with a Dutch Chemical Multinational (positions are stated elsewhere), I joined a US based Receivables Management company, primarily responsible for the EMEA market. Since July 2006 this has expanded to all markets outside of the America's.
My responsibilities include Marketing, Sales, External network and managing (direct or indirect) the groups' offices in Europe and Asia, all on credit management related issues.

Besides my profession, I'm very active in the Credit Association world and here would like to mention my membership with FCIB (an association of executives in Finance, Credit and International Business) since 1986. With this association I learned many of the skills and gained knowledge which proved to be of great value. Over the years I've been elected as a member of the Board of Directors and had the privilege to serve as the association's Chairman in 2002-2004.

Since 2005 I'm also involved in building and developing FCIB China, based in Shanghai were education and the organization of member meetings are key for the development of the association over there but also for credit management in China.

This ultimately lead to becoming a Board Member of Creditreform China, a member of the Creditreform International organization (the EU credit information leader), per May 2008. The official opening of this entity is scheduled for mid September 2008 and its aim is to become one of the market leaders in China.

William Bastiaan’s Specialties:

Credit Mgt out of all angels; an international practioner & manager on the industrial side, to a Director (with emphasis on marketing and sales) on the service side. This including areas as purchasing, credit insurance (third parties & captives), debt collection, streamlining organizations, building/directing mid-sized to larger organizations, achieving measurable goals/targets and grow business/impact/result etc. I especially enjoy it to have done that in & with different cultures.
