Outcome-focused, relationship-oriented and pragmatic in approach

People describe me as pragmatic, collaborative, result-oriented, warm, analytical, dedicated, 'goal-oriented in a human way', 'both passionate and calm', 'excellent listener and sharp observer', reliable, versatile and someone who 'understands the whole and easily grasps the big picture'.

I believe that the best results are achieved through integrating head and heart: the synergy of analytical thinking with emotional intelligence. My background in economics, strategic marketing and 15 years in the corporate world have honed my analytical skills and goal-oriented approach. At the same time, my softer and more intuitive side has been developed through studies at three different coaching schools, my academic degree in psychology, my personal practice of meditation (Vipassana) and a deep sense of compassion for myself and others.

In addition to my work as an agile organizational consultant and coach, I am also honored to serve as the chairman of the Alliander Foundation. I'm passionate about making a positive impact in both the business and nonprofit worlds. I live in Utrecht with Julia and our two daughters Roza and Liva.
