HOW I CAN HELP

FACILIATION

Passionate about designing and facilitating leadership offsites that drive real, tangible outcomes. These experiences translate vision into results by defining strategic priorities, unlocking innovation, and fostering collaboration.​With over a decade of experience in management, strategy, technology, and innovation consulting, expertise lies in guiding high-impact conversations at every project stage. Work across industries and European markets brings adaptability and fluency in English, Dutch, and German. For a hands-on expert to craft and lead a leadership offsite that delivers real change, let’s connect!

Leadership offsite

Leadership teams need time away to reflect and plan. In offsites, I design agendas and facilitate sessions that balance reflection with future planning, ensuring clear initiatives and ownership. A neutral facilitator enables equal participation and guided discussions for effective outcomes.

Recent offsites include:

  • Aligning leadership on product strategy post-merger, paving the way for a VC exit.

  • Streamlining annual roadmap, budget, and OKR planning, cutting the process time by 50%.

  • Creating a cultural manifesto with actionable steps for leadership.

 

Ideation workshops

Ideation workshops, both in-person and remote via Mural, help teams generate and refine innovative ideas. Sessions range from half-day workshops to full-week design sprints, tailored to specific goals. The right stimulation and structured approach ensure creative, high-impact outcomes.

Recent workshops include:

  • A one-week design sprint for a European airline, identifying new in-flight payment methods.

  • Developing a B2C digital business model for cow milk, leading to a successful corporate venture.

  • A strategy workshop for a global coffee brand, shaping a roadmap to boost revenue by 50% in three years.

Training & Coaching

Hands-on training in design thinking, agile principles, and servant leadership equips teams with practical tools to drive innovation, adapt to change, and collaborate effectively. Interactive sessions ensure immediate applicability, helping leaders and teams integrate these approaches into their daily work.

Recent training sessions include:

  • Coaching Microsoft sales teams on customer-centric techniques to boost closed deals.

  • Training a banking team in design thinking to identify customer challenges and develop solutions.

  • Providing agile leadership training to senior executives at a global bank to spark cultural transformation.

CONSULTING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

With 10 years of management consulting experience under my belt I can support companies across the entire project lifecycle: from strategy definition, to ideation, validation, business model definition and execution.

Innovation & Digital consulting

Helping businesses cut through the noise by identifying key trends and insights to shape their future. A user-centric approach uncovers customer needs, ensuring innovation efforts align with real demand. Ideation sessions generate solutions, which are validated through rapid prototyping and testing. Once validated, clear business models and strategies bring concepts to life and embed them successfully.

Recent experiences include:

  • Leading a 12-week design-thinking initiative for a Swiss dairy producer, launching a digital business that later expanded internationally.

  • Developing a custom methodology for a bank to transform its new business team, adapting agile practices to a banking context.

Project and Program Management 

Experienced in project and program management, applying classic, hybrid, and agile methodologies to drive successful outcomes. Skilled in managing large-scale digital initiatives, complex stakeholder environments, and corporate ventures with a focus on alignment, efficiency, and impact. A structured yet adaptable approach optimizes teams and processes to meet business goals.

 

Recent experiences include:

  • Leading delivery of a £3M+ healthcare app, resolving delays and scope issues to ensure on-time, full-scope completion.

  • Managing a global tool producer’s content strategy, aligning 250+ stakeholders through a sprint-based approach and design-thinking methodology.
