Interim CEO

Service: Interim & Governance

'Keep calm, carry on!'

I bring peace to restless and hopeless situations and create future perspective. As interim CEO, I have brought a variety of companies and organizations out of the relegation zone and back to the top. My style is not hard, but clear and enthusiastic. I move well in a field with many parties and interests.

I also have extensive experience in the process, manufacturing and food industries and with (former) family businesses.
