Koos leads highly skilled engaged teams in marketing, sales, technical support and applications, finance, customer services, logistics, and human resources.

Koos worked for more than 7 years in several senior sales positions at different biotechnology companies before he cofounded BIOKÉ in 2004, being responsible for all sales and marketing activities.
