Description

With 28 years of experience implementing WMS, TMS, and Control Tower solutions — on both supplier and client side — I help organisations make digital logistics truly work.

I bridge the gap between software promise and warehouse reality. Having worked for vendors (Blue Yonder, Kinaxis) and clients (3PL, medical, fashion), I understand what both sides need. This dual perspective is rare — and valuable.

I specialise in:

• Stabilising complex implementations where technology meets people

• Go-Live Excellence — zero-issue rollouts through preparation and alignment

• Human-centred digitalisation — operators must trust the system

• Cross-functional leadership — bridging IT, operations, and vendors

My approach: Listen first. Analyse deeply. Advise wisely.

No off-the-shelf solutions — just field-tested insight from 50+ implementations across 10+ countries.

Available for interim assignments, advisory roles, and complex implementation projects in the Netherlands, Germany, and Benelux region.
