Hallo

What founders say

“

Sjoerd combines sharp analysis with direct communication and a strong focus on execution.

Bert Kamper · Founder, Momentum EMEA
“

His analysis is lightning-fast and razor-sharp, always from the big picture to what really matters. He clears the path and places responsibility exactly where it belongs.

Twan Voss · Co-founder, Solar Dew & Bebambu.eu
“

Not by pulling all the strings yourself, but by building an organisation that learns to think and act independently. That shift is what makes real growth possible.

Patrick Schilperoord · CEO, OpenSource Energie, Hosted Energy & Energy Together
“

I've seen up close how Sjoerd looks at building businesses: always a step ahead, with a rare clarity of thinking.

Stephan van Gelder · Growth Entrepreneur & Business Coach
“

Sjoerd has a gift for making complexity simple, with vivid examples that stick.

Melvin Jellesma · EVP & Managing Director EMEA

In detail

Three cases.

Momentum EMEA

Sector: International connectivity & security · Region: EMEA

Situation: A business that's doubled every three years for years. Strong, but that growth engine still ran largely through the two founders.

Approach: Built structure and trust so the management team keeps the existing growth running independently.

Result: The management team keeps the engine on course, still doubling every three years. The founders now focus on accelerating that: innovation and international growth. The finishing touch: a permanent GM hired. A deliberate sign of trust from the founders in their team, and in an even stronger future.

OpenSource Energie

Sector: Dynamic energy & white-label energy supply

Situation: A founder-dependent business in a sector that kept taking hit after hit.

Approach: Together with the founder, sharpened the unit economics: cost per customer down, revenue per customer up, so better margins. And built a ten-year plan that puts the founder in his role and forms the team underneath that hits the strategic goals, including the process and structure requirements that come with that.

Result: The founder is still following that plan. Despite all the unexpected hits in the energy sector, the business is growing like never before, driven by healthier margins per customer rather than just more revenue.

Hallo IT

Sector: IT services · PE-backed buy-and-build

Situation: A PE-backed scale-up acquiring and integrating local IT specialists. The promise: local proximity and national scale. But what do you do when a local client has a project that exceeds their own team's capacity?

Approach: Connected the local and national team so they carry larger projects together. Combined the best of both worlds and, the hardest part, actually got it live and working.

Result: Local clients keep their trusted point of contact and gain national firepower at the same time. Speed and performance, without losing the local value.
