BLAZER NOTES

Raymond De Lang (‘97)

After graduating in ‘97 (best class ever;) I moved back home to the Netherlands. Studied culinary school and became a chef at a fancy hotel for a year, shortly after joined the Military service. Got married and had some kids, boys two of them. After 20 years of service being all I could be and working in the hotspots of the world, I was in for a change of pace. Wanting to be more at home for the family, I took a job in logistics FMCG, a couple of in-between jobs later I am now running as a plan manager at a high-end robotic operating and sorting postal company. Together with these robots and 150 workers, we make sure each postal package is delivered on time. 24/7.
