Leveraging our experience and expertise, we assist your organization in navigating changes smoothly, becoming more efficient, resilient, and future-ready. From managing transitions to establishing calm, we stand by you every step of the way.
At Edukans, an organization navigating several transitions, Willem provided steadfast support and strategic guidance, showcasing his skill to effectively assist organizations through periods of change..
Similarly, in Nepal, Willem spearheaded a significant transition for Medair, where he reduced the expat team from nine to just 1.5 members, focusing on empowering a self-managing local team. In addition to project management, his efforts to bridge cultural gaps – such as organizing a successful football match between different castes – highlight his dedication to inclusive change management.

“Wendy is an absolute joy to work with the most organized person that I have ever worked with and combines amazing organizational skills with warmth, great communication skills and determination to get the job done excellently, whatever it takes. She has first-class relational skills and builds a sense of team wherever she goes. Wendy is a hugely positive person who gets others on side and motivates them to do a high-quality job and be proud of what they achieve. She is a problem solver who anticipates what could go wrong and makes clear plans so as to avoid that happening. She is tenacious and hardworking. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Willem has led, during my maternity leave, the World Vision Programmes team. He did an excellent job in a very complex time (Covid 19). He managed to hire four new well skilled team members and rearranged the way of working (mostly online). He brings great enthusiasm and motivates the team. He has good common sense and is able to facilitate decisions. Lastly he has great coaching skills. Willem, I look forward working with you in the future.”
It has been a great joy to work together with Wendy. Wendy is an enthusiastic team player. A hard worker. Result driven. With her energy and drive and excellent networking skills she has been able to set-up valuable relationships for Tearfund Netherlands with key players in the area of Institutional Fundraising. In the Netherlands as well as international. Her personal approach made it great fun to work with her!
Willem is unfailingly optimistic and enthusiastic which makes him a wonderful team player as well as leader when the chips are down. I worked with Willem when he brilliantly fulfilled two roles within Medair: Deputy Country Director in South Sudan and then Country Director for Nepal. In both contexts Willem was exemplary in his capability to manage people, projects and the inevitable challenges that came our way. Thanks to Willem’s leadership both country programmes thrived and he (and his wonderful wife Wendy) left genuine legacy through the empowerment of the staff and communities that Willem worked with and positively impacted. He is highly capable and dependable. Medair misses them both!
It was a great pleasure to work together with Wendy in the development of a grant proposal. Wendy has excellent communication and coordination skills and together with her enthusiasm and passion for the vulnerable we managed to develop an ambitious plan. Highly recommended!
