In (interim) executive, advisory and supervisory board roles, I help create real value with strategy execution, organizational maturity steps and M&A. My passion is to bring organizations to the next level. I am often involved in strategic change events such as acquisition, integration, divestment, merger, alliance, restructuring, process & organizational improvement and renewal cases. How do you achieve your change goals while avoiding major risks such as business disruption, culture clashes, inadequate structures, IT-trouble, revenue loss, stakeholder conflicts and loss of synergies or talent? In a committed and professional manner, I help you make better decisions and get things done. My expertise is rooted in a combination of deep management experience and best practice consulting. As an executive for many years, I have led the highly successful transformation of a traditional decentralized multinational to an integrated digital high performer. And as a consultant, I supported 100+ organizations in different countries in critical situations of transformation, buy & build and strategic growth. I am an INSEAD-certified board member and supervisor at several organizations, often as Chair, Vice-chair or with responsibility for areas such as audit & finance, strategy, innovation, organization & change. I serve on the board of Board Companions, the INSEAD alumni organization for supervisory directors that helps nonprofit companies professionalize and grow. Academic work dovetails nicely with my business projects and supervisory roles. My research work appeared at top journals, including Harvard Business Review, and I am a thought leader at major universities and in the business world. I tell simple things to smart people. Are you interested in confidentially discussing your growth, transformation or value creation case? And learn how I could help you become part of the successful minority?
