I’m officially of an age, and I still like to keep busy. Full stop.

Busy being the operative word.

Where I once did important work — meetings, PowerPoints, and people nodding with purpose — I now help entrepreneurs, people, family, friends. And yes, the occasional client I happen to run into.

Whether it’s building a website, sending a weekly mailing, overseeing an exam, moving a car, transporting staff, sorting payments, helping someone remember something, or filling a van well beyond its recommended capacity:
I take care of it.

Not we.
Me.

Because I’m a senior one-man operation who simply prefers to stay occupied.

Curious what that looks like?
Do click. Gently. I’m from the typewriter generation.

Professional? Quite.

Though I’ve always regarded the word with mild suspicion.

I’ve spent over twenty-five years working — and occasionally enjoying myself — in executive search, training and development in the technology sector, across Europe and the US. Once I was VP HR at Commodore International, both here and across the Atlantic. A sizeable title, good years, and meetings. Many meetings. Not all essential, but informative all the same.

These days, if required — and weather permitting — I still do a bit of executive search, training & development and coaching. I also act as an examiner for EBI. And, for reasons that made sense at the time, I’m a Hiker as well. No walking involved. Just cars. Collecting them, delivering them, losing my way, finding it again. Alongside the more serious matters, I take on website and marketing projects I actually enjoy. Including draumr.nl, theguitarstore.nl, Ondernemers Tuinwijk, Café La Porte in Meppel, Volvo 940 specialist Peter Verkerk, Wolken Software, Brooklyn Audio, Remiks, Van Piekeren Band and qvignes.nl.

From senior HR to coffee with musicians and winemakers — as long as it’s mildly interesting and there’s room for a wry smile,
I’m happy to be involved.

Unsure whether I can do it? So am I. It usually works out.
