Wim is an ambitious man who loves challenges. As a freelance transformation executive, he guides companies, multinationals and government institutions through complex digital and business change programs all around the world.
When he is not working, he finds his challenges at extreme altitude. He has climbed the highest mountain on each of the 7 continents and has reached the summit of five 8000ers. Wim applies the lessons he has learned in the death zone to his everyday professional challenges.
As a speaker, Wim leaves a lasting impression on the audience in his own modest style. Although not many people in the audience will have climbed an 8000-metre peak, he is able to fascinate them with very recognizable stories, about rising to challenges, working hard as a team, dealing with change and resolving problems. Wim captivates audiences at all levels of your organization.
