Committed former officer with a passion for activity…

Arne went to the Royal Military Academy in Breda and became an air force officer. There he combined his knowledge of business administration and technology with his love of getting people and organizations into action. He discovered that he gets energy from improving their performance, which he did later for companies like Tata Steel and GVB.

Arne loves to keep active, also outside of work. An endurance sportsman, he can often be seen out on his racing bike. He runs marathons too – and sometimes even a little farther.

… who helps organizations push back frontiers

Arne likes to work with others on structural improvement. He’s great at making people enthusiastic and getting them involved. How? By challenging them, giving them a framework, and especially by making them responsible. Information is motivation, says Arne: ‘People need to know what part they play in the greater whole, including when things don’t go well. That enables them to set change in motion on their own too.’
