It has been an honor to witness and also be a part of your journey to grow into a great manager. The challenges we had and the efforts we made together to make our team better have all turned into meaningful and enjoyable memories. Being a manager is difficult sometimes, but thank you for always focusing on your people and supporting me and Yang’s growth.

Your perspective on the world and sense of humor have always brightened me as a friend, and your optimism and determination have inspired me deeply. Thank you for reminding me to stay true and be assertive about what I really love, despite the noise around me.

May your next journey be everything you’ve dreamed of — and more. I know you will continue to succeed!

Best wishes,

Jing

8+ incredible years! From CrossFit highs to your spot-on advice (you saved me from so many Dutch mishaps!), you were my anchor in my integration journey.

We celebrated profit pool wins and weathered mercury storms. Proud to see you grow into an amazing manager—this is just the start! Wishing you endless success in your next chapter. You’re a true friend!

Cheers

Roberto

Great to know you and work together. All the best for your next steps! Enjoy all Four Seasons around the world :)

thanks so much for all your hard work for proUd, something that wasn't on your job description but where you felt it was the right thing to do. Thanks to your attention to detail, we jumped to 100% score - and without your dedication this would not have been possible.

Wishing you all the best for what for sure will be a bright future!

All the best

Frank

I want to say I will definitely miss our connects during ProUD drinks. Your pragmatic and can-do mentality, and funny jokes, will for sure be missed! You're a true trailblazer.

All the best in your next endeavors and hopefully we meet again!

Warm wishes,

Hessel

thanks for the last year, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I am sure you will in succeed in whatever comes next.

Enjoy your time and keep in touch.

Wishing you all the best, Marie

Dear Florus,

It feels strange to write those two things together. When we first started working together, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. We had our little clashes and differences, especially at the beginning—but over time, that all changed. I got to know you beyond the role, and I’m really glad we found our rhythm and became friends.

I’ve always admired how much you know. Not just work-related things, but the way you see the world, how you think, and how you carry yourself. That depth is rare. You’re someone who’s sharp and intelligent, but also kind and sincere once people get close enough to see it.

So, as you move forward into something new, I just want to say: I hope you always stay true to who you are. Don’t ever feel the need to tone down your thoughts, your energy, or your standards. That’s what makes you you, and it’s why people respect and remember you.

Thank you for everything you’ve done—for being a great manager, and even more, a real friend.

Wishing you all the happiness in your new chapter. And again, happy birthday!

With love and best wishes,

Yang

Good to work with you in the past year. Will miss your "spicy comments" during the lunchtime and the happy moment you brought. It was a lot of fun coworking and talking with you. Hope you all the best in your ongoing life adventure, find what you love and keep enjoying life!

Best,

Olivia

Great to have gotten to know you over the past year. I really enjoyed our time working together. Wishing you all the best in whatever comes next! Martijn

You are the last of my 'Unileaver partners in crime' and you will be dearly missed! I think you were a wonderful colleague, open and honest, and comforting to talk to. Always with a smile on your face 😊. We had a great many informal chats together, and we could support each other especially in the last months of being at Unilever. You had a tough job to take over a role in sad circumstances and to support the team going through that change. I know it was not easy, but you were honestly interested in helping out and building a great team and I think you did a great job. I admired how you always stood  up for them. Reading the testimony from your team members will rightfully make you feel proud.

I wish you all the best for your next career steps!

Best wishes,

Lente

It was nice to meet you! It's been a real pleasure working with you and to have had you in the team. I will always remember your smart way of looking to the most diverse type of topics and the way how you openly talked about them. I clearly see that you have grown in the role and thank you for being a great colleague.

Wish you all the best for the next chapter and let's keep in touch.

Best, Joao Lampreia

Bedankt voor alles wat je voor UFS hebt gedaan! Het was ontzettend leuk om met je samen te werken en hoe was ook heel mooi om te zien hoe je bent gegroeid in je rol de laatste jaren, ook als manager! Bedankt voor je professionaliteit hoe je met de transformatie om bent gegaan en de overdracht hebt gedaan! Ik wens je heel veel geluk en succes voor de toekomst! Stay in touch!!

Groeten,

Ryanne

It's been a pleasure getting to know you and work with you.

I wish you all the best for the future, I know great things will come your way!

It’s been a pleasure to get to know you and work with you. We’ve navigated some tough moments together, and your strength, kindness, and authenticity have always stood out. 

As you move on, I have no doubt that amazing things are ahead for you. Wishing you all the success and happiness in what’s next. Let’s stay in touch! - you’ll be missed more than you know!

Best, Saeedeh

As you transition from your role, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the many years of dedication, hard work, and professionalism you’ve shown throughout your time with the company. It has been a true privilege to work alongside you.

I want to acknowledge how difficult it is to say goodbye under these circumstances. Everything was part of a broader decision that was unfortunately beyond my control. You probably remember I had many ideas for the area you were leading, and it is deeply frustrating to see that potential not come to fruition.

You have consistently demonstrated remarkable ownership and diligence in managing an enormous amount of data and delivering critical reports to the entire organization. Because of your reliability and performance, I never had to worry about that crucial part of our operations—you always ensured things ran smoothly, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Beyond the work, your efforts to keep your team engaged and high-performing did not go unnoticed. You’ve left a strong legacy, and your impact will be felt for a long time.

Thank you again for everything you’ve contributed. I truly wish you all the best in whatever comes next and hope you find a new opportunity that values your skills and dedication as much as we did. Eduardo

I really enjoyed being part of the team this past year, and a big reason for that was how easy and fun it was to talk with you about anything and everything. Our chats were always comfortable and full of good vibes. I’m glad we got to hang out again during the last team get-together. Wishing you all the best in what’s next!

Best wishes,

Stamatis

Your hardwork and dedication always stood out. Wishing you all the success!

We keep in touch!

I wish we could have a proper farewell together and in person. Good times we had and I’m glad we were on the same team to share all those good memories and laughs. From Roberto carrying the desktop to dancing in the parties and the great UK trips. You were always a great support by voicing our concerns out loud and opinions to look for fairness, for which I’ll always be grateful. Also, always keeping us updated with the news and happenings. Specially the do’s and the dont’s…duh. What would we do without you. I’ll always appreciate your honesty, as a colleague and more as a friend. I wish you the best in the years to come in whatever path you decide to go. Always set to do it with the best intention and you will succeed!!! 🙏🏽🥳😊 Needless to say, you’ll always got a friend in me 🩵
