“Willem van der Krieken is an effervescent force with significant digital impact. A visionary who begins to shape his strategy with the first cup of coffee. Energetic, creative, entrepreneurial, and above all, a joy to work with. It’s remarkable that he positions himself as a ‘venture builder,’ far surpassing the role of a ‘digital consultant.’ And rightly so. This is exactly how I’ve come to know Willem in various contexts: someone who personally engages with all tools to help build a new strategy or product. Not just along for the ride, but actively pedaling and steering with a clear focus on the (new) goal of a (new) venture. A builder that any brand or organization can benefit from, in a process that’s not just about winning, but also about having fun!”
