Tutti frutti

What is it like being a entrepreneur in The Netherlands - if your roots are in another country?
And what are the differences between doing business in The Netherlands and, for example, in
America, Morrocco, Latvia or China? Colourful entrepreneurs answer these questions in Tutti frutti.
In this book Saskia Maarse presents 28 portraits of entrepreneurs from a variety of countries and
backgrounds who, with courage and determination, have all earned themselves a place in the
world of Dutch business. Their inspiring stories and hilarious anecdotes are interesting reflections
on the Dutch psyche. They demonstrate a wide variety of perspectives on the `national character. Its
literally just a case of what youre brought up with....
The stories sparkle with pride and passion, as do the photos of these colourful personalities - all
taken in typically Dutch locations.
Tutti frutti is full of tips and ideas: inspiration that will more richly colour your own work and leisure.
Just as it has the lives of these succesful entrepreneurs. You too can profit from the rich blend of
the best characteristics from a variety of cultures.
Graphic designer Saskia Maarse (1966) was open to other cultures from a young age. Working abroad in
tourism, followed by her own world tour, further broadened her view of the world and its occupants.
Curiosity about other cultures - within The Netherlands - gave birth to the idea of this intriguing project.
