The Executive Collective

You’re a VP or Head of in a ā‚¬50M+ company, tasked with transformation but given no roadmap. You know what needs to happen; your company just won’t hire the consultants to help you figure out how. Meanwhile, you’re surrounded by yes-people, drowning in politics, and your personal development budget is the only thing you actually control.


Welcome to the table where ambitious executives invest in themselves because their companies won’t, and they know better.

Where ambitious leaders accelerate

Your MBA alternative for the transformation era. Career acceleration through peer wisdom.

You’re smart, politically savvy, and frustrated by corporate bureaucracy. You’ve been promoted into transformation roles without proper training. You need a sounding board who gets the complexity; the cross-functional politics, the budget battles, the isolation of being the only person who sees what needs to change. But your company won’t invest in your development at the level you need.

Your membership includes intimate dinners with fellow transformation leaders, monthly peer sessions where you solve real challenges without corporate politics, and an annual immersive with executives from multiple countries facing your exact walls. You’ll join a private community that becomes the sounding board your company won’t provideā€”peers who understand the isolation of leading change from the middle.


This isn’t company-sponsored development. It’s your competitive edgeā€”the relationships and capability that open doors your current role never will. Events rotate between Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, and select international locations.

This is peer learning for ambitious executives who invest in themselves because it's their competitive edge, their career insurance, and frankly, their companies are too slow to see the value.

Four ways we're different from
corporate training programs

Peers at
your level

Other VPs and Heads of leading transformations, not junior managers or theorists who've never done it.

Honest feedback

The sounding board you need outside your organization. No politics, no career risk, just truth.

Career acceleration

This is your investment in future mobility, the relationships and capability that open next-level doors.

You're in control

Your personal development budget, your decision. No approvals, no company procurement, no delays.

What you get as an Executive Collective member

Five transformations when you stop navigating alone

These aren’t networking benefits; they’re career outcomes. What changes when you have peers solving your exact problems, frameworks for influence without authority, and space to admit you don’t have it figured out.

01

Navigate organizational politics:
Get the transformation approved, funded, staffedā€”even when youā€™re not the CEO making decisions.

02

Build influence without authority:
Lead cross-functional change when you don’t control the budget, people, or org chart structure.

03

Speak their languages fluently:
Translate CX vision into CFO ROI, CTO feasibility, CMO brand impact. Get every function aligned.

04

Create optionality beyond this role:
Build the external profile and relationships that ensure you’re never stuck or dependent on one company.

05

Stop performing, start belonging:
Finally have peers you don’t need to impress. Where career doubt doesn’t mean career death.

I have been working closely with Loek on planning strategic initiatives related to enhancement of Omnichannel Service at Staples, where he clearly impressed me by his though leadership and skills to manage change: Although the organizational set up was quite complex, he managed to lay down a clear vision and to quickly build momentum around it among the various stakeholders.

I had the pleasure of working with Loek and always appreciated his structured way of working and sharp focus. He brings clarity and calm to complex situations and consistently delivers high-quality results. A reliable and thoughtful professional Iā€™d gladly work with again. And no matter how busy things got, there was always space for a good laugh, which made working together even more enjoyable.

Loek is a very amicable person. As a client analyst, he’s of the kind that will not try to solve everything alone, but look for the win-win joint effort type of solution. He is willing to hear alternatives and utilize the solution which fits purpose best. This creates a lot of goodwill in the business as well as at the partners. Loek really understands his business which makes him an invaluable member of the team. I consider Loek a collegue and not a business partner.

Global Business & Digital Technology Leader
I worked with Loek at ECCO Shoes, where I was responsible for the wholesale & retail technology agenda and he was responsible for the global omni-channel strategy and business execution. Loek was a true thought partner and strategic thinker who gets quickly to the core and drive the right decisions with his stakeholders. With his energy & drive multiple omni-channel releases went live in US, Canada and Australia, delivering critical business value during a tough (C-19) period where many of the retail stores were closed or partially closed. Loek proactively identifies opportunity and is able to quickly prioritize the right things so that they are delivered quickly to drive customer and business value. It has been a pleasure to work with Loek as my sparring partner. I recommend Loek for any strategic digital and omni-channel leadership positions in large, global organizations.
