“I had asked Gust to give a presentation on cognitive biases. By asking targeted questions in advance, he was able to connect well with our needs. The result was an interactive workshop in which theory was combined with real-life examples and a subsequent assignment. The communication with Gust was pleasant and smooth, also during the workshop he knew how to keep the attention of the participants. As far as we are concerned, a positive experience.”

About me

“Knowledge is potential power”

Urgency + Entertainment = purposeless.

Entertainment + Content = irrelevant.

Urgency + Content = boring.

Urgency + Entertainment + Content = Power.

In both small and large companies, in business and consumer markets, I have helped companies grow as a Growth Consultant and Head of Business Innovation.
Within these roles, I have:
Spent millions of dollars in marketing budgets.
Conducted hundreds of experiments.
Contributed to hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.
Won 4 (inter)national professional awards.

What distinguishes growth companies from shrinking companies? Over time, those patterns become apparent.

Those patterns can also be found in countless books, articles and models.
My goal? To effectively implement the right patterns to bring about meaningful change.
