Welcome Stijn!

How did you end up at vPlan?

The first time I heard about vPlan was during company football. I saw the purple jerseys and thought, “Hey, what kind of company is that, and what do they do?” I didn’t do anything with it at the time. But later, when I was looking for a new job, vPlan came to mind again, and I decided to look up what they actually do. There happened to be a suitable opening for a consultant, and the rest is history! 💪🏻

Has consultancy always been your passion, or did you have other interests?

Not always. I actually started out in construction but realized that my true passion lies in IT. So, I continued my studies with a focus on IT and began working as an integration consultant. Since then, I’ve been working as a consultant for over three years now.

How would your friends describe you in just three words?

Unique, versatile, a bit quirky.

Imagine you had a year off to try something completely different—what would you do?

I would probably do a mix of different things:

First, I would set aside a few weeks for beautiful, long trips.

In addition, it would be amazing to try new things and maybe even train for something. I’d also love to start something of my own, like creating and launching my own product or brand. 🚀

Which app on your phone could you absolutely not live without?

Spotify 🎶

What do you like to do to unwind after a long workday?

What did you want to be as a child before entering consultancy?

A professional footballer. ⚽️

What do you enjoy most about working in consultancy?

Definitely the dynamic client interaction. You visit a wide variety of companies and gain insight into all kinds of different processes, company cultures, and people.

Do you have a hidden talent that almost no one knows about?

I consider myself a true BBQ enthusiast. At home, I have a large kamado grill that I love experimenting with, from the best recipes to new flavor combinations. It’s always a joy for me to try something new on the grill! 🍖

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

The United States. 🌎

What little things in life truly make you happy?

A cold beer on the weekend after a busy week, especially during the third half after a football match. 🤪

Goodluck Stijn! 💪🏻
