Employee Testimonial - Jasper Verleyen (Treasury Manager)

Having experience in working in large enterprises with a strict vertical hierarchy, it was quite a culture shock and took some time to adapt to Ferromac’s corporate culture. Basically you are given the keys of the car and you are in the driving seat from day one. This allows you to organize your work like you feel fitting but you are also responsible for any dents and scratches caused along the way. In other jobs I would often get frustrated how bad decision making would lead to mediocre results and stressful work situations. Ferromac gave me the chance to take responsibility and put my money where my mouth is. “Own it” is something Bart would say to me.

The world we live in is moving faster everyday. There are so many moving parts that make it quintessential to make long term plans and use long term projections based on solid and reliable data. I provide our management with credible scenarios of what is happening and going to happen in markets. How can a rate decision from a central bank impact our company and currency exposure? I firmly believe that if you make a solid planning and you stick to it that will always deliver the best results. It is also the only way you can actually make money in financial markets without emotions getting the better of you.

The thing I appreciate most about Ferromac is the flexibility that works in two ways. You give a lot but you get a lot back. It motivates me to go the extra mile when needed. A great example is the coach our management hired for us. Once a week we do a high intensity work out together and to be honest I am the best shape I have ever been. It helps me to get trough difficult times and especially keep my head up. That is for me the main difference between Ferromac and any other workplace I have been. Being here makes me strive to not be complacent, to work on being a better person and try things I would have never thought possible.
