Specialism: Professionalizing Organizations with Character
The Challenge
Your organization has a strong identity and loyal employees. While this is a major strength, it can also hold you back. Do you notice that necessary professionalization is stalling? That good ideas get stuck in a “we’ve always done it this way” mindset?
My Role
I bring the structure needed for growth, with respect for your company’s DNA. As a committed leader, I don’t stand above your people, but among them. I am helpful and hands-on, taking the lead in change. I motivate the team to build the future together, so that professionalization becomes a shared success, not a chore.
“Joost is a stress-resistant organizer who knows how to prioritize. With his hands-on mentality, positive energy, and helpfulness, he motivates and proves himself a leader who stands up for his team.”
ā s.Oliver Group (HR Management)
My Role in Your Organization
A combination of insight, decisiveness, and action.
I analyze complex problems and reduce them to their core. I look ahead and see where the organization needs to go, beyond the daily grind.
Where others hesitate or compromise, I make decisions. I take responsibility and ensure clarity and progress.
Results are sacred. I am opportunistic in the best sense: I spot opportunities for improvement and ensure they are capitalized on.

The floor is different. The mindset is the same.
Before I entered logistics, I competed as a professional ballroom dancer at a top-sport level. That mentality never left.
My Profile: Multiple assessments define me as an independent strategist. I don’t need frameworks to function; I create them. I am allergic to useless bureaucracy, but I strongly value discipline and reliability when it comes to results.
My Promise: You are not hiring a manager to maintain the status quo. You are hiring someone to challenge it, define the strategy, and lead the team. Not by holding hands, but by setting the course and leading from the front.
Core Values: Autonomous, Ambitious, Result-Driven.

What I Stand For
š« No Politics
I don’t play office politics or have hidden agendas. I work based on content, openness, and the common goal.
š« No Stagnation
“We’ve always done it this way” is not an argument. Traditions are valuable, unless they block necessary progress and the future.
ā Autonomy
I believe in ownership. I take the lead, but I also expect people at all levels to take their own responsibility.
ā Results
Ultimately, output matters. I am competitive and focus on profit, efficiency, and actually achieving the objectives.
ā Reliability
Freedom implies responsibility. I stand for “a deal is a deal”. We create a clear plan and execute it in a structured manner.
ā Commitment
I don’t stand above the troops, but amongst them. As a leader, I support my team and together we ensure the job gets done.
Let’s connect.
Looking for interim support or advice? Iām happy to come by for a non-binding conversation. The cost? Just a cup of coffee.
