It is my passion to unlock the potential of organisations and people. So that as powerful professionals and leaders they can shape their own future and that of the organisation. By giving direction and perspective. By connecting with the world around them. And by realizing their ambitions. From their own strength and talents.

As a consultant or program manager or as a manager or administrator you work in and with an organisation on tough and necessary transformation tasks in complex dynamic environments. Challenges that come in handy due to external developments such as disruptive market change, IT transformation and climate change.

It is my opinion that in organisations we leave a lot of talent and potential untapped. And that the focus on control and micromanagement severely limits our innovative capacity. This hinders the agility and the capacity to change of organisations. Which ultimately means that they operate in the rear or even go down completely.

I feel a strong motivation to do something about this. In the interest of the people involved and the world around us. By being who we really are. And learning from our most recent history, we will find new paths that will take us further.

My craftsmanship and personality enable me to empower people and unlock their leadership. In order to realize the desired and necessary change, development and innovation in their organisation. My expertise is based on a business and organisational background. I have extensive experience in strategy and management development. Culture and leadership development. Organisational innovation and transformation. Market and business development.

As a person I am naturally focused on innovation and connection. I like to explore what lies beyond the horizon together with others. To translate what we see into development processes that take people and organisation further. I easily enter into a trusted relationship that also lasts for a long time. My loyalty and commitment are paramount.

My work has taken me to many places: the Netherlands, Europe, United Kingdom, United States, Asia, India and Africa. I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of organisations, sectors and networks. Varying from multinationals to small and medium-sized companies. From the government to NGOs. From heavy industry and chemicals to the financial sector. This in western countries, emerging markets and developing countries.

My strength lies in stimulating the development of people and their organizations. I am a a typicall bridge builder who knows how to realize the connection and togetherness that is necessary for the future of all involved. Respect and justice for people are paramount.

As a director, HRM manager and Senior HR advisor, I know from experience how unruly daily practice can be. A practice in which we sometimes hurriedly and with insufficient sense of the context pursue our short-term goals. I see it as my role to ensure that processes run in such a way that there is well-considered decision-making, a balanced weighing of interests and a result that everyone involved can agree with.

This may concern, for example, individual case histories in the sphere of labour relations, to policy issues in the field of inflow, mobility, and outflow or employment conditions that apply to an entire organization.

My experience extends from the private to the public sector and from small and medium-sized companies to large concerns.

My background as a lawyer combined with my broad work experience in various sectors and various roles means that I can be effective from multiple perspectives and in multiple situations.
