Associate Partner at IBM

I love making innovation happen. Innovation for me is not just about coming up with great ideas, but about getting the organisation prepared to make these ideas into a reality. In some organisations this is relatively simple, in others this requires quite a transformation. I have over 20 years' experience in consulting with key clients across a variety of industries: Shell, Heineken, KraftHeinz, Dutch Defence, Dutch Prisons, DSM, Achmea Insurance, ING, IBM, and more.
