Last week on Friday 12 September, our Managing Director Christa de Kemp had the honor to be one of the speakers at a special goodbye seminar for Mr. Hideki Tominaga, who has worked for 27 years with EY Netherlands.
Through the years of her career with the City of Amstelveen, amsterdam inbusiness, and then Dujat, Christa has a long history and many memories with Tominaga-san. Having worked with Japanese companies for 30 years, Christa explained how she helped attract Japanese investments throughout her business career in Amsterdam, and how she continues to collaborate strongly with Japan as the Managing Director of Dujat.
Other speakers at the seminar were:

There was also an interactive panel discussion led by Ms. Lenneke van Dijk (Partner, EY International Tax Services), and of course, a beautiful farewell speech by Tominaga-san. Many thanks to Ms. Miho Tanaka and the team of EY for the organization of this seminar. We wish Tominaga-san all the best and look forward to staying in touch in the future!
