About Rik
I bring over three decades of senior leadership experience, working at the intersection of strategy, execution, and people, largely within complex, global organizations where decisions carry real scale and consequence.That experience shaped how I approach leadership — making decisions under pressure, with imperfect information, and clear accountability for outcomes. I also began my career as an entrepreneur, which grounded my perspective in ownership, responsibility, and strategic judgment.Today, I work with a small number of leaders who value thoughtful dialogue, discretion, and grounded perspective.

A Personal Note
Leadership has never been just about decisions or results for me. It’s about people — the conversations, the trust built over time, and the responsibility leaders carry toward those they lead.Over the years, I’ve learned that clarity often comes not from having the right answer, but from listening well, asking better questions, and creating space for honest dialogue when it matters most.Minnie is our toy poodle — a quiet reminder that leadership is ultimately relational. She keeps me grounded, and occasionally joins me between meetings
