Dr. Gatot & Mariek Wilms

While having a two decade long career in marketing and sales at global organized companies, a huge experience in these areas was gathered with emphasis on the cosmetic market.

Originally, Mariek studied to become a teacher at secondary school, but moved on to a MBA degree which was finalized in the UK. Additional training in online marketing and PR was obtained from a well known business school in The Netherlands.

Besides being very energetic, Mariek has a great sense of humor.

Mariek about her career:

Dr. Gatot & Mariek Wilms

“I learned so much at the companies I worked for, and I am proud having been employed by them. Since they had a very commercial approach, I learned to deliver. Next, these companies inspired and taught me that even if you work in a very commercial environment, you can be involved! You can make a contribution to something that matters.”

Mariek about the brand Paul Penders:
“The products are unbelievably good; you really should try (you can even taste them, they are 100% natural with no chemicals added!).”

“Our main challenge in the coming years will be to try to really understand the women who use natural organic cosmetics, but also to be able to communicate the message to consumers all over the world in a way so it is understood in the right sense.”

Mariek about the future perspective:
“As I am used to long term visions – and try to get to it by means of short term steps – my vision is the following: to be a part of the building of a successful company in personal care, with values that matter, with contributions to society – even on small scale – that matters, all done with common and practical sense.”

“Learning every day, giving every day, but also being able to forgive others and ourselves when something didn’t turn out as expected!”

From Mariek to all:
“I wish you 3H’s: a Healthy, Happy and Harmonious life!”
