Background

About Maarten Derriks

After I achieved my MSc. Human Movement Sciences I worked for MBT (physiological footwear). Besides giving adequetaly fitted service to my customers, as manager, I was responsible for the improvement of the store as well as of the brand MBT in general. It became a passion for me to make progression in these fields. Being a MSc. HMS one of my tasks was to build up the MBT medical network (physiotherapists, orthopaedists, etc). Some of the other things I took responsibility for, were marketing, organising events, and edit the website. Within a short time my store became the best selling MBT store in NL. Working with physiological footwear gave me the possibility to use my knowledge about the human body and use my capacity for creative thinking in other fields. After the bankruptcy of MBT, I was responsible for selling the remaining stock of all the closed stores. I worked together with the curator and achieved to make high profits. In the MBT period I learned that besides my passion for sports, health and improving performance, I can be passionate about ‘winning’ and improving in other fields. Combining my HMS knowledge with my sales experience I started in April 2013 for Biometrics Motion as Account Manager. In this job I was able to use my skills in the field of my interest: sports, health and scientific research. Early 2014 Biometrics was acquired by Lode Holding and integrated with ProCare. This gave me a great chance to grow even more into this field. At this moment I am working with great pleasure for ProCare in a senior role, being part of a team that keeps growing. Besides Biomechanics and Movement Analysis in Life Sciences, I am now also responsible for Motion Capture in the VR and VFX market.
