Finding a Fresh Start @ Maas Riva

Grace, originally from Indonesia, arrived in the Netherlands to start a new chapter in her life and career. After she already gained plenty of experiences back in Indonesia, she found a role at Maas Riva that perfectly aligns with her ambitions. Transitioning from a background in sales and marketing to a purchasing position, Grace has embraced this opportunity to broaden her skillset and contribute at her new workplace.

Developing skills and improving knowledge
Grace has been working at Maas Riva for several months now and has quickly proven her value to the team. With her precision and attention to detail, she has earned praise from her employer for creating high-quality, error-free quotations, which significantly increase the company’s chances of securing orders.
Tim, her supervisor, shares his perspective: “Grace is incredibly accurate in her work, and her understanding of urgency in critical cases is impressive. She has exceeded our expectations, and we’re thrilled to have her on the team.”
Beyond her technical contributions, Grace has also learned to use Microsoft Dynamics NAV, a new skill that enhances her efficiency and performance in the role, which she used to handle large orders going up to €20.000, -.

Grace’s Experience at Maas Riva
When asked about her experience, Grace describes working at Maas Riva as a transformative opportunity: “For me, working at Maas Riva is really a game changer for my new beginning in the Netherlands. I’ve gained new perspectives on the trading business in Europe.”
Grace also enjoys the company culture and feels well-integrated within the team. “Everyone is so lovely and patient, always willing to teach and correct me when needed,” she says.
One of her favorite aspects of the Dutch work culture is the emphasis on work-life balance: “I’ve come to appreciate not working overtime, taking text-free leave, and the power of recognition. These things recharge me and help me perform better when I’m back at work.”


A Great Match
Tim reflects on Grace’s smooth integration into Maas Riva’s culture: “Grace immediately felt at home here. She’s always engaged, asks great questions and adapted to our processes quickly. Even during lunch in the canteen, she’s found her place among her colleagues.”
Tim also appreciates the proximity of Grace’s home to the workplace and how she takes advantage of the company’s flexible hours to balance her personal and professional life. “Her proactive attitude and strong work ethic set a great example for others.”

Gratitude and Recommendations
Grace attributes her success in the Netherlands to the support she’s received from both Maas Riva and Port of Opportunities: “I’m very grateful to Port of Opportunities for not giving up on expats like me who want to work and rebuild their lives in a new country. Their support has been invaluable!”
When asked if she would recommend Port of Opportunities, Grace’s answer is an enthusiastic yes: “Absolutely! They’ve made this entire process smooth and rewarding.”
Tim also recommends giving newcomers a chance: “Everyone deserves an opportunity. With the right mindset and support, anyone can succeed. Grace is proof of that, and we’re grateful for the collaboration with Port of Opportunities.”
