Jos is an experienced digital innovation, transformation and IT consultant and manager who can develop a vision with and for his clients into highly practical, result-oriented solutions and communicate their ‘Why?’ to executive management. His motto is: Dare to dream and know how to turn your dreams into reality.
That means dreaming about envisaging the future with entrepreneurs undergoing a digital transformation. Then, knowing all the pitfalls, he sets out a clear path for navigating solutions, services, the cloud and data integration, with you – the client – at the centre. He has in-depth knowledge of data sharing, ERP, data governance, supply chain, iSHARE, Industry 4.0 and the digital economy. At the same time he has both feet on the ground, and knows the added value this can create for you and how to realise it in practice.
He is both loyal and committed, and passionate about devising and implementing effective structures and solutions.
He is also a family man who moved to Brussels for love and a bon vivant who enjoys sport and spending time outdoors (sailing and mountain biking), as well as travelling and cooking.
He’s a true European, who speaks several languages, including Dutch, German and English, and enjoys working with people to come up with ideas and then building on them.
Having studied Management and Business Information Systems he went on to work as a programmer, ERP supply chain consultant, programme manager, internet entrepreneur and interim IT manager, creating strong foundations for his subsequent career.
These skills proved very useful in his work as an executive account manager for an IT service organisation, where he helped many clients, often in an international setting, to convert their digital ambitions into feasible solutions.
His knowledge and experience mean he can quickly understand business processes and identify the causes of problematic areas and then translate them into practical solutions. As a result, he can be seen as a ‘holistic helicopter pilot’ with a good overview and able to explain issues from every angle and with the necessary detail.
He is receptive to what technology and other innovations can offer. Thinking of a company as an ecosystem, he also understands the vital role played by the people behind the systems. Alongside his interest in planning and optimisation, he understands the importance of integrating with your suppliers and customers, as well as 3PL and 4PL optimisations using AI, data-sharing solutions and cloud services and the need to integrate and orchestrate all these services and solutions into your business processes.
