“Crisis” is a word we have become all too familiar with over the last year. The importance of having proper crisis management procedures in place should not have to be emphasized anymore.

Rosa Voulon (45) came to Proximities after leaving the Dutch Ministry of Defence, where she worked for 18 years.
