'I like to keep some distance from the problem. Not from the customer'

Of course, if you want to see everything in perspective, you have to zoom out a bit. Does that make me an aloof consultant? Certainly not. At JBR, we are known for our down-to-earth and honest analyses. But at the same time for our commitment. Alongside our clients rather than above them, and very committed to getting everything out of them. Thinking and doing.

Definitely solution-oriented, because our roots are in Rotterdam and you can still clearly see that in my character and mentality.
In a consultancy project I am the 'playing captain' and bring together the best group of people for each assignment.
