Congratulations to Retsan Koers, who set himself an ambitious, but entirely achievable goal of putting himself through a battery of IFPO education programs. The Netherlands-based security entrepreneur has reached his goal. What's next for Retsan? We'll have to wait and see, but clearly, the sky is the limit. Here is a recent announcement on Retsan, posted to his Linkedin page:
