Some organizations know exactly where they want to go but get stuck on the question of how to get there. That is precisely where I am at my best.

My strength lies in combining subject-matter expertise with implementation. I listen, ask incisive questions, and bring structure to complex issues. I then translate strategy into concrete steps and get people with diverse interests on board with the change. Drawing on my experience in government, as an independent consultant, and as a researcher, I bridge the gap between legislation and regulations, academic insight, and practical application.

In the coming years, I aim to continue helping organizations facing complex societal or sustainability transitions—organizations that need an advisor or project leader who not only offers advice but also ensures that changes are actually realized.

Are you looking for an advisor or project leader who can make sense of complex issues and deliver results? Feel free to send me a message on LinkedIn or contact me via my website. I would love to meet you.

Integrity

Sustainable results can only be built on strong relationships. Both on a professional and personal level, relationships require mutual trust and respect. Integrity should be key in any endeavour worth undertaking. It is the starting point for everything else. No compromises accepted.

Impact

Making a difference. In some cases that is an improvement of the bottom line but it can also be a change in culture or an improvement in the way of working. The intent to make an impact is an invitation to define the outcomes upfront and be clear about progress during every step of the journey.

Quality

A continuous strive for excellence goes hand-in-hand with a practical eye for what is feasible and necessary. Voltaire was right in saying that perfect is the enemy of good and a focus on quality should not create academic goals but help to realize attainable value.

2iQ is short for two i’s and a Q and a compact way to express these values. With that 2iQ is an ambition and a promise to clients and partners. But also an invitation for a discussion. Let’s talk!

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Sustainability is the key to our survival on this planet and will also determine success on all levels.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.
