Facilities Manager 12B Clean
Krista van Iwaarden
With over ten years of experience as the owner of her own cleaning company, Krista van Iwaarden brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to 12B Clean. As a facilities manager, she serves as the link between clients, employees, and day-to-day operations.
My Story
From a few hours of cleaning to a successful business
Krista's entrepreneurial journey began on a modest scale. When her children were still young, she wanted to earn some extra money a few hours a week, so she started doing cleaning work at a local healthcare facility.
Word quickly spread throughout the village that Krista was offering cleaning services, and the first requests from private clients began to come in. Not long after, she registered her business with the Chamber of Commerce, and her company grew into the well-known cleaning service Buitengewoon Wemeldinge.
What began as a private cleaning service grew into a multifaceted business operating in virtually every sector of the cleaning industry. From routine cleaning and window washing to specialized services such as cleaning contaminated homes and sites where bodies had been found: she never shied away from a challenge. Eventually, the business even expanded into an organization with its own staff.
What is Krista most proud of? Simple:
“That I made something out of absolutely nothing.”
A New Challenge at 12B Clean
After her stint as an entrepreneur, Krista worked for a time at Kärcher in a business role in sales and back-office operations. There, she met Jack Oosterwaal, and they hit it off right away.
Although the business world was interesting, Krista missed the dynamic nature of day-to-day operations and the direct contact with customers and employees. When the opportunity arose to join 12B Clean as a regional manager, she didn’t have to think twice.
“I feel completely at home at 12B Clean, and this is truly where I belong.”
