Meet the Core Team
David Cives Enriquez
Recuitment Savvy - As the founder of Savvy Group, my goal has always been to disrupt the services industry with a variety of consolidated service offering never before seen in the FDI space by a single company. Whilst this is a work in progress, in an ever-changing global market. We have come a long way over the years in developing our service lines, and moreover, the unique Savvy company culture, where everyone can be themselves, open, honest and direct. I am privileged to work with such a dedicated team of professionals from whom I am also able to learn from.
Renier Verhagen
Finance Savvy - Renier is just about the funniest financial professional we have ever known at Savvy, so much so, that he often laughs at his own jokes, even when others don’t. He is internationally focused, has a can do mentality, and nothing is impossible. If Savvy were to have a company mascot, he would certainly be a serious contender.
Dana Bruinenberg
Payroll Savvy - Is our loveable resident payroll superstar, with extensive knowledge on local and international payroll subject matter, including but not limited to structuring comp & bens set up. Multitasking and communication are definitely her core strengths, and she brings Dutch directness to a whole new level.
Joycelyn Zhu
Immigration Savvy - Joycelyn established the Savvy China desk and has expanded this desk to Asia Pacific. She is consequently managing all inward related business from the region, together with her team of subject matter specialists. Joycelyn brings the oriental touch to our team, educating us on the finer things in life, from exotic rare teas to culinary delights we have never heard of. She brings new meaning to 24/7 availability and raises the bar very high when it comes to client experience.
Emi Lioudaki
HR Savvy - Emi is our very first ever Greek hire, adding a different but welcome Mediterranean flavour to our vastly international team.
She has insanely healthy eating habits, team Savvy has never seen so many variations of a Greek salad before, and the clients love her calm and patient approach, with the driest and sharpest of humour.
Emi brings balance and tranquillity to the team.
Despina Spyreli
HR Savvy - Despina is the second addition to our Greek contingency and a bundle of joy always smiling regardless of the weather…
Her mozzarella and pesto sandwiches are a work of art and her clients are all lining up in the morning to wish her Kalimero!
Team Savvy is glad to have her as part of the team, but she does have to work of her Skiing skills!
Deveney Mantel
Payroll Savvy - Deveney is the latest addition to our Team, by day she is payroll consultant extraordinaire, and by night she is at the gym powerlifting more weight than even Anatoly Shmondenko would care to play with.
She is a delight to have around and paces herself intermittently eating her proteins on the hour every hour (give or take!)
It’s great to have another Dutchy on the team!
Linda Creemers
HR Savvy - Linda came to us many years ago with a wealth of knowledge and experience in employment law, she is our resident legal counsel, who can assist with the broad strokes of employment and contract law. Linda has the ability to see through the most complex matters, whilst thinking outside of the box and making us all laugh at the same time, she is a Stella member of our team and a sparring partner to all.
Agnes Aupers
Pension Savvy - Agnes is our Certified Pension & Insurance rocket scientist, she has the unique talent of translating the most complex of things into kids play, which we all love off course! Furthermore Agnes is our knowledge rock, there is little to nothing she does not know in her field which is very scary… Thank you for the constant ongoing teachings Agnes!
Richard De Bie
Tax Savvy - He is our cross boarder tax specialist, with more years of experience than he would like to admit within the international tax arena, he has been around the block a few times. Richard has a talent for breaking down complex tax issues into palatable and easy to use information; his ability to communicate at different levels of an organization is definitely a contributing factor to his popularity and ongoing success.
Karlijn van Haarlem
HR Savvy - Karlijn is an HR consultant with wonderfully euphemistic views of the world, always seeing the best in people (even when they don’t quite deserve it). A committed vegetarian with the occasional strategic exception, she’s proof that optimism, kindness, and flexibility can peacefully coexist.
Fiona Yu
HR Savvy - Fiona is an HR consultant with a corporate legal background, powered by great food, Pilates, and spa days and occasionally reminding the team that moderation is more of a guideline than a rule.
Tram Mai
HR Savvy - Tram is our HR consultant and Asian connection, bringing creativity, quiet sharpness, and a wonderfully innocent sense of humour to everything she does. Funny without trying and clever when it counts, she proves you can be both thoughtful and unexpectedly witty at the same time.
