Hermen van den Burg has been exposed to consumer trends and tastes for all his live – from the family retail business in his childhood to various international design awards in his adolescent.

Hermen continued to increase his international experience as a shareholder of a home decoration business that exported to 40 countries around the world. Next to these he personally set up various businesses in the Netherlands, the U.S. and China.

 Working on an international stage with global consumers has been a second nature to Hermen. Currently he is consolidating his comprehensive knowledge and experience of manufacturing, importing and retailing for the benefit of Burg in the European, American and Asian markets.
