Our stories

We are committed to go the extra mile to achieve our mission and create impact on the lives of people all around the world.

There is room for people to grow, horizontally and vertically.

I have always had the ambition to work internationally, and supply chain management was an excellent field of business to pursue that. After my graduation, I worked in a big pharma company for a while, but I knew back then already that my heart truly lay in the field of humanitarian supply chain management. I have always been eager to use ‘commercial’ practices for the benefit of helping others. Therefore, the i+solutions mission, culture and ambitions seamlessly integrate with my personal values and beliefs.

When I joined i+solutions back in 2006, the total number of staff was about 10 people, so there was no such thing as onboarding. Moreover, and this a true story, I applied for the position of ‘Tender Coordinator’. During my interview, we talked about my educational history and the ambitions of i+solutions (back then named IDA solutions) and I was hired as ‘Logistics Consultant’. In the months after, I transformed to the role of Procurement Specialist and held many other roles after. So, how I was onboarded, moving into new roles very quickly, is something that struck me the most and has been one of the most compelling aspects of my career within i+solutions.

Staff are given the opportunity to grow and develop if they have the ambition to do so. Individuals can really put a personal stamp to their own career within the organization. But vertical growth is not the only way how people can develop further. i+solutions also gives the opportunity for people to develop in a certain expertise and grow as a content professional. I have been developing from a content field (procurement and supply chain management) and through project management, IT implementation towards business excellence and innovation. And I am not unique in my journey, I have seen other colleagues following a similar path or the other way around, from management position towards a more expert-based position. I think the most important message I want to give is that individuals themselves can play a big part in writing their own career path.
