Motivation & Ambition
“What is more beautiful than ensuring that honest and sustainable products are as widely available as possible and contributing to a better world? The only way to achieve this is if not just you, but others as well, realise that commercial success and a sustainable world can go hand in hand.”
KIM HUPPERTZ
Kim has been part of the GreenSprout team since 2021. She is an open-minded and inquisitie representative with a lot of enthusiasm for Organic products. She is also involved in various internal tasks such as the design of the website, the preparation of the store visits and the evaluation handeling. Her background as a sales and event manager comes therefore in handy.
Motivation & Ambition
“My first acquaintance with organic products started when I worked at the organic shop Heerlijk at Wormerveer. A new green world opened up for me here. I discovered how natural food can make a difference to your health and was impressed by the beautiful brands that I gradually got to know. After my studies I traveled for six months through Asia. Not only did I enjoy the delicious food there and learned a lot about the cultural differences in diet and lifestyle. Also the beautiful nature and its destruction that has been going on made me realize that sustainable products can make a difference.
In my search for my work ambitions, I realized that my passion for healthy food and sustainable products has only grown. I wanted to do more with that and not much later everything fell into place. Now I cross all over the Netherlands for GreenSprout to enthusiastically present the beautiful brands in the stores.”

NANCY SEUREN
As a representative at GreenSprout, Nancy started in 2024. Her interests include conscious food and green brands. Her studies in Food Innovation fit in nicely with this, where she learned a lot about nutrition, market needs and trends. With this knowledge and passion in her pocket, she visits stores in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Motivation & Ambition
“For as long as I can remember I have been interrested in food. Cooking or baking things, collecting recipes or ‘walking’ around the supermarket isles. Ever since I was young, this has made me happy.
After my studies I worked at an independent organic store in Eindhoven. Here I was able to gain much knowledge of all the beauty and honesty that the organic world has to offer and that there is also a green choice.
To set a tradition within GreenSprout, I was also hired after my trip through Asia, just like Kim. This was hugely educational and made me see in a different way the impact of food on people, animals and nature.
By being part of GreenSprout, I hope to do my part and give the brands we represent the attention they deserve.”
