Koert Breebaart heeft dit gedeeldToday marks my last day at SAP after nearly 15 fantastic years. When I joined SAP as a Value Engineer back in 2012, I could not have imagined the journey ahead. SAP became the place where my background in management consulting with Accenture and business transformation with SingTel found a powerful home at the intersection of technology, value creation, and customer impact. Over the years, I have had the privilege to lead Industry and Value Advisory teams across Asia and Europe, work with exceptional leaders and customers, and contribute to some truly meaningful outcomes. I am deeply grateful for the trust, the challenges, the learnings, and the many friendships along the way. Most of all, I am grateful for the people. SAP has been much more than a company to me. It has been a place of growth, purpose, friendship, and memorable moments — from my very first day to my very last. As I close this chapter, I also look ahead with energy and curiosity. After a short break, relocating back to the Netherlands, and spending time with my family, I will explore with clarity what comes next: opportunities where I can help organizations shape strategy, drive business transformation, build high-performing teams, and turn technology into measurable value. If you have ideas, opportunities, or simply want to reconnect and share a good SAP memory, I would love to hear from you.

Tariffs, evolving trade agreements, and geopolitical shifts are forcing Swiss and European manufacturers to rethink sourcing, production, and pricing — in real time. In a white paper I recently co-authored at SAP with Koert Breebaart, Gerard Speksnijder, and Patric Imark, we explored how integrated, AI-enabled solutions can help turn volatility into opportunity.

Koert Breebaart heeft hierop gereageerdKoert Breebaart heeft hierop gereageerdWat een avond! Het Atrium van Naturalis Biodiversity Center was woensdagavond het decor voor het jaarlijkse Diner van de Biodiversiteit, waar ik namens Heijmans een key-note mocht geven. Zo’n 100 politici, bestuurders, wetenschappers en vertegenwoordigers uit het bedrijfsleven gingen met elkaar in gesprek. Precies in díe kruisbestuiving ligt de oplossing voor de biodiversiteitscrisis. In gezamenlijke besluitvorming op basis van wetenschappelijke kennis. Mijn verhaal ging over de Natuur als oplossing, waarbij we in ons dagelijkse wereldse handelen, afspraken en systemen meer de door de lens van de aarde mogen kijken. Om te komen tot antwoorden op de opgaves waar we voor staan gesteld. Marcel Beukeboom (algemeen directeur van Naturalis Biodiversity Center) verwelkomde alle gasten, maar ook de uitgestorven reuzenalk die voor heel even uit het veilige collectiedepot was gehaald. Dit dier, uitgestorven door menselijk korte-termijn-denken, symboliseert hoe eigenbelang kan leiden tot volledige uitputting van de natuur. Hij benadrukte hoe een nauwe samenwerking tussen overheid en bedrijfsleven het tij kan keren. Met de reuzenalk als waarschuwing voor de toekomst: “Denk aan hem bij het nemen van volgende beslissingen”. Staatssecretaris van Defensie - Derk Boswijk (Ministerie van Defensie) deelde vergelijkbare uitdagingen. Beiden stuiten wij in onze activiteiten op de impact van ons werk, maar benadrukten we de wil om bewuste keuzes te maken en te focussen op wat wél kan. Die noodzaak tot samenwerking overstijgt bovendien onze landsgrenzen; secretaris-generaal Roald Lapperre (Ministerie van Landbouw, Visserij, Voedselzekerheid en Natuur) kondigde aan dat Nederland dit onderwerp hoog op de agenda zet tijdens de aankomende VN Biodiversiteitsconferentie (COP17) in Armenië. Lisa Becking (marien bioloog bij Naturalis) zette deze verhalen kracht bij aan de hand van de verdwijnende koraalriffen in het Caraïbisch gebied: “We weten wat er aan de hand is, we weten wat we moeten doen. Nu moeten we het ook gaan doen.” #naturalisbiodiversiteitsdiner #biodiversiteit #gezondeleefomgeving

Koert Breebaart heeft hierop gereageerdKoert Breebaart heeft hierop gereageerdToday marks my last day at SAP after 19 incredible years. It’s hard to fully capture what this journey has meant to me. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities, the trust, and the countless experiences along the way. SAP is truly a great place to work, and I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with so many smart, talented people who also made every day enjoyable and fun. Looking back, I’ve had the privilege to be part of many different chapters. I started as an SAP Transportation Management consultant, learning the fundamentals and working closely with customers to solve complex challenges. Later, I had the opportunity to serve as the Global Lead for the Maritime Transportation industry, broadening my perspective and engaging with industry leaders around the world. Most recently, over the past four years, I had the honor of leading the Industries practice in Middle and Eastern Europe—an experience that has been as rewarding as it has been inspiring. This journey has taken me to 36 different countries, each bringing new experiences, perspectives, and lessons that have shaped how I think and who I am today. Over nearly two decades, this chapter has shaped me not just professionally, but personally. I’ve learned so much—from colleagues who challenged and inspired me, from customers who trusted us, and from partners who worked alongside us to achieve great things together. While I’m genuinely excited about what lies ahead, I have to admit that this moment feels strange and a bit unreal. It’s one I never quite imagined would come. At the same time, since my next chapter will remain within the SAP ecosystem, I’m confident that many of the connections I’ve built over the years will continue—and that’s something I truly look forward to. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey—it’s been truly special. On to the next chapter.

200 million people in Latin America live in extreme poverty and social inequalities are growing. Both public and private sector don't have the right means to close the gap. Impact entrepreneurs can make the difference. However they need capacity to scale and reach beyond their local market. I helped to build the first impact accelerator in Argentina. They will accelerate 50-100 startups in the next 10 years, creating 1000's of jobs and helping millions of people to live a better live.

The focus on costs is becoming more and more an important aspect of any business. Deliver products and or services efficiently and companies will have that competitive edge over others. Technology plays a crucial role to reduce costs and companies are embarking on technology led transformations. The CFO is traditionally very good in managing budgets, but what about tracking the value from technology investments? Without a clear end goal in kind or no value compass to stay on course, business outcomes and benefit realization are not optimized.

Back at my desk it is dark and you can hear a pin dropping on the floor where 80 people work. It feels unreal and I decide to check out the other floors and come to the conclusion that this Chinese multinational company sleeps, but only for a little while a day.
