Meet Anique Soetermeer, Director People & Culture
"Being part of Salvia at such a pivotal moment is thrilling. We’re at an exciting turning point, and I’m really enjoying the ride!"
And Anique Soetermeer-Gabriels’ role couldn’t be more crucial.
As Director of People and Culture, Anique is responsible for finding the talent Salvia needs to grow while helping shape the evolving company culture. “We’ve gone from 30 people when I started to 50 after just one year of recruitment,” she says. “That’s insane.”
As much as anyone at Salvia, Anique is driven. That’s partly due to her being a total extrovert and partly due to her daughter, who has been debilitated by migraine. “When I heard about what Salvia does, my daughter had been home for three years because of migraine," Anique says. “She was in social isolation. She didn't go to school anymore. She didn't have friends anymore, and had headaches six out of seven days. That was extreme. So, yes, of course, I really want to work for this company!”
Anique had been deeply in the startup scene during several years kickstarting tech accelerator (and now venture builder) HighTechXL. This time, she’s deeply in a company in transition, and all the huge changes that brings. “I think a lot of people here chose the startup life, not the corporate life,” she says. “Salvia is growing out of the startup phase; we are in a new phase.”
And so is Anique.
Working for Anique was a 24/7 commitment. Now, at Salvia, she has a much better work-life balance. "My daughter said to me, ‘I only ever saw you in a suit, working hard and constantly on the phone. You were home, but not present. Now, I feel like I have my mom back.’”
Page Title (H1)
Header (H2)
A subheading or chapter heading (H3)
Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.
Subheading (H4)
Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
Another topic (H3)
Another subheading (H4)
Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.
Paragraph heading style (H5)
This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.
Paragraph heading style (H6)
In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.
Other options
Use a "quote". That looks like this:
This is a quote!
You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
