About me

Who I am

Background

I'm Daniël: consultant and writer. I help organisations with questions around growth, organisation and communication. My master in Policy, Communication & Organisation at VU Amsterdam taught me how organisations function and where they get stuck.

Journalism as an edge

Interviewing, digging deeper and reading people isn't a random skill: I studied journalism. I now use it not only to write an article, but to understand an organisation: gathering information, finding patterns, exposing the real problem.

Experience

I then spent more than four years at FUUSE, a fast-growing startup: first as a recruiter, later as recruitment manager. I built a client base, led a team, and worked daily on strategy, stakeholder management and business development.

How I help

Interview, gather information, find patterns, understand the problem, spar strategically, shape a solution, execute, and where useful, write the story around it. With one client the emphasis is on organisation and operations, with another on research and content. Both come from the same way of working.

How I work

How I look at growth

Three principles that guide everything I do.

  1. 01 Understand first, then act
  2. 02 Structure makes you faster
  3. 03 Respect and short lines

01

Understand first, then act

I listen before I propose anything. Every organisation is different.

What matters is understanding where things actually stall for you, not laying a model over the top.

02

Structure makes you faster

Good systems do not slow you down, they make room.

When processes are clear a team moves faster. When roles are clear choices get easier.

03

Respect and short lines

Even when things are not going well we keep talking.

I say what I see, you hear it first, and we sort it out together instead of letting it linger.

Where it comes from

I have been writing about sport for as long as I have about organisations. Not as a hobby on the side, but because elite sport shows in miniature what takes years to surface in a company.

The long game

Where this is heading

Sport and business have a lot to learn from each other.

Eventually I want to advise sports organisations on growth and organisational design. I believe sport and business can learn deeply from each other.

For now I'm building that foundation through strategy work, research and writing. Every founder I help and every article I write builds toward it.
