Getting people to do what they are made for. So that you do what you are meant to do. That's what drives me. In fact, I've been doing that for as long as I can remember. Having experienced many high peaks and deep valleys myself, both personally and professionally.
More than 20 years ago I started in the due diligence practice at Deloitte, then as a Corporate Acquisition Consultant at KPMG Corporate Finance. I have been self-employed since 2000: via a detour as a commodity broker in London and a period in Mexico, since 2004 I have been a professional Business Coach for entrepreneurs and executives, who want to get the most out of themselves.
As an entrepreneur or executive, business and personal are not separable. As an entrepreneur, husband and father myself, I know all about that. That's why you can spar with me about business challenges and relevant private matters. Because that's who I am: a sounding board, strategist and confidant all in one.
In the meantime, I have coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives in more than a thousand conversations, which has helped them achieve the results you probably have in mind.
In addition to my work as a Business Coach, for more than 20 years I have been assisting entrepreneurs as a Business Acquisition Advisor with selling their business.
I am a certified NLP Practitioner, a member of the Dutch Association of Professional Coaches (NOBCO) and also of the International Coach Federation (ICF).
