Johan’s influence

Without today Inside, of course, such a beautiful job would not have come on his way, Sam says in it Ad. “Today Inside brought me a lot. Half an hour before the broadcast I still got all the political leaders on the line. Everyone wanted to talk to me.”

And that was not because of him, Sam admits. “Only because I was at VI. This cabinet, the previous cabinet, very political The Hague takes VI seriously, and in particular Johan Derksen. It gave me a flying start.”

Gift

His father Pieter Jan Hagens thinks that VI has indeed been indispensable for Sam. “In terms of contacts, but also visibility. If you can show what you can do on such a stage, that’s a gift.”

Sam fills in the talk show of Eva To: “I only had to send an app to ministers of:” I’m so at VI, can I call you? “, And they call right. That is just through the stage and through the program.”
