He held his first GM appointment at Sofitel Den Haag in the
Netherlands in 2005, and subsequently oversaw the opening and management
of the prestigious SoVienna Stephansdom in Austria.
During his tenure in Bangkok, Haandrikman served as the cluster GM
for two Accor properties, including the 345-room Sofitel Bangkok
Sukhumvit.
