Emile Kouwenhoven
Advisor and Change Manager
What I do
My great strength lies in connecting People, Business and IT, because I really understand all three components.
About me
I have a deep love for life and this planet. The beauty and wonder of nature must be preserved, not depleted by human actions. I believe in building companies that create a better future for our children—this mindset was instilled in me from an early age.
As one of the first covestors of Generous Minds in 2012, I firmly believe in the power of collaboration to help entrepreneurs succeed in their mission.
With extensive experience as an independent project manager across the commercial, IT, and finance sectors, I now work as an Alliance Strategy Consultant and serve as Head of Growth at a training and coaching company.
Through my own company, Kona Consult, I help people reconnect with their inner essence through nature and plant medicine. Working alongside body & mind therapists, shamans, and biologists, we create profound personal growth experiences.
The value I bring to organizations:
• 25 years of experience in corporate and mid-sized organizations as a marketing manager, product expert, product owner, alliance manager, and strategic advisor.
• Deep expertise in conscious business, guiding organizations through growth and transformation as a coach, trainer, and facilitator.
• A multilevel perspective, bridging all stakeholders within an organization to foster meaningful connections and collaboration.
How I help customers
