Pleun Opperman is at the helm of growth company Parakar. She started working in the company at a young age. At the age of 29, Pleun took over the management of her father's multi-million dollar company. After a tough Corona period, dad was ready to hand over the baton. The decision was made during a summer family dinner. How is it possible that Parakar has grown so fast? What can you expect when you are given so much responsibility at such a young age? What does Pleun do differently from her father? And how does she develop herself as an entrepreneur and leader? That and more in this new episode of Groeivoer.
