change actually happen.

After more than a decade working in business, brand and digital consultancy, I’m currently using my expertise to help small companies (3–50 people) and new initiatives flourish.

With strategic advice on business, culture and operations, and by leading the implementation of change with conviction and compassion.

I’m here for…

  • I act as an advisor, 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.

  • Especially around succession, leadership changes or the start of a new business unit. I act as a change agent: creating clarity, bringing people along and helping turn a transition into a new way of working. I’ve done this with companies such as Kryha and FabFilter.

  • I act as a kwartiermaker and programme manager, taking an idea from ambition to something tangible, organised and ready to thrive. I’ve done this with organisations such as 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.
