He allocates much of his time to large IT and business process outsourcings which often stretch over multiple countries and jurisdictions.

He likes taking a holistic view and forging an inspiring cooperation in diverse teams. He helps people understand each other, creates clarity and proposes creative ways of bridging differences. Bart has worked for more than half of the larger Netherlands based multinationals, including most of the larger Netherlands based banks and insurance companies. By assisting with innovative projects, he keeps informed connected with trends and innovations that can benefit his (other) clients.
