My name is Sophie Tordoir, third year student Business Economics at Tilburg University. Since mid 2014, I am an active member of Asset Accounting & Finance. I applied for the committee “Editorial Board”. I particularly chose this committee because I hope it will give me the opportunity to improve my English writing skills, to be active with relevant and important current topics and to get to meet new and interesting people. I hope to learn from the experience and knowledge of others; from fellow (committee)members as well as from people that I will interview. Up to this moment I have interviewed several people for example Jan hommen (CEO KPMG) and Ron Dohmen (FIOD).
