The power of culture
For the past 25 years, as director of various international cultural organisations, I enjoyed the privilege of setting up collaborations with artists, cultural organisations, creative industry, governments and civil society. Time and again, I was captured by the power of this international cooperation. Where political differences, economic competition and global conflicts drove people apart, cultural cooperation often turned out a deeper understanding, an image or a voice of recognition. These years of dedication to (international) cultural issues and my expertise in strategic management enabled me to develop and implement successful strategies for cultural organisations and governments worldwide.
Independent consultant in the cultural sector
As of 2023, I have established myself as an independent consultant and am excited to further share my experience and expertise: internationally, nationally and locally. For example, I am currently advising the management of 'Ro3kvit, Urban Coalition for Ukraine' on organisational development and issues such as 'fair-play'.
What issues can you come to me for?
Strategic coaching of management (team). You are faced with a lot as a manager of a cultural organisation. Reflection and attention to your most important instrument (yourself) gives you new insights from the helicopter view
Temporary management & project management. Due to internal and external factors, an organisation or a project can be temporarily without management or project leadership, where attention and care are still badly needed
Development of strategy to increase the international presence and impact of your organisation
Guidance of (local) governments in the field of (international) cultural policy and evaluation.
