About me
With over 20 years of experience as a headhunter, Jan Willem has a deep understanding of what it takes to assemble and lead high-performing teams. His expertise in personal (servant/authentic) leadership, combined with his extensive knowledge of organizations, gives him the added insight that clients highly value. Jan Willem quickly grasps an organization’s structure and direction, identifying gaps and opportunities. This allows him to offer strategic advice on how to adapt a vacant role to meet the demands of the labor market.
Clients consistently highlight key qualities in their feedback: Jan Willem is quick to adapt and respond to client needs, building strong connections with a social heart. He practices servant leadership, listens attentively, and offers critical insights. He isn’t afraid to address underlying issues, always doing so with respect and a touch of humor. As a senior executive search and leadership expert, he sees exactly what’s needed and acts as a natural mediator.
