I help small companies (5–50 people) turn ambition into action.
Drawing on more than a decade in business, brand and digital consultancy, I combine strategic advice on business, culture and operations with leading the implementation.

Expertise
I act as advisor or interim COO/COO, helping founders turn ambition into a clear strategy and a tactical plan for execution. I’ve done this with companies such as TodayTomorrow and Mimotica.
Changing a business while it still needs to run is hard. Leadership transitions and succession planning are especially sensitive: they touch roles, relationships, ways of working and often the core of the business itself. I help navigate these moments with conviction, consistency and close attention to detail. I’ve done this with companies like Kryha and FabFilter.
I act as 'kwartiermaker' or programme manager, guiding the process from initial idea to implemented project, programme or business unit. Tangible, organised and embedded . I’ve done this with organisations like De Correspondent and Allard Pierson.
I act as a guide: from understanding whether the model is a good fit, to defining the design and implementing it in practice. For this work, I partner with We Are Stewards.
