At the age of 19, he completed training as an officer, taking command of a group of around 12 soldiers. This was a multicultural team, ranging in age from 24 to 28, most of whom had technical (MTS) or higher professional (HBO) education backgrounds. With an energetic and positive approach, he succeeded in motivating the team to make it an enjoyable and educational experience together.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>After his period of military service, Jos began his career in accountancy at a firm focused on government institutions. As a team member within the audit and advisory practice, he became familiar with various public sector organizations. It soon became clear to him that he preferred to work on the other side of the table and collaborate with a team to achieve tangible goals. In 1989, he made the transition to the Breda City Region, where at a young age he led a financial team of eight people. This was a time when bookkeeping machines were being replaced by the first computer systems\u2014a revolutionary period of change.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In the years that followed, Jos gained experience in various (semi-)public organizations in the waste management sector in the Brabant region. Transfer stations, composting facilities, recycling companies, and eventually an incineration plant in Moerdijk were developed. With major high-tech investments, the dynamics of the waste management industry changed significantly.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>After 15 years in the waste management sector and completing several international training programs, Jos decided to move into the private sector. In early 2002, he started as CFO for Europe at the publicly listed scale-up company \u00d6ssur, which at that time employed 275 FTE globally, including 36 in Europe. Over the next 21 years, Jos held various management and board positions, further broadening his experience and enabling him to understand the different languages and cultures across all business functions. In his final five years at \u00d6ssur, he was responsible for all finance and tax functions, totalling 175 FTE within an organization of 4,000 employees. He oversaw approximately 10 acquisitions, from M&amp;A through to full integration.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of 2023, this successful 21-year collaboration came to an end, and Jos quickly determined what he wanted to focus on for the next decade: independent entrepreneurship as an Interim Financial professional.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The dynamic nature of interim management closely resembles his final 10 years at \u00d6ssur: the ability to switch quickly, form a clear picture with sometimes limited information, and act decisively. This proved immediately valuable in his first interim assignment at a well-known food company, where two recently acquired businesses needed to be merged and operational processes standardized and optimized. Within a short time, Jos worked with management to translate business strategy into a concrete operational plan and implement it together with the teams, thereby laying the foundation for further growth.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#EEEEEE&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;belangrijk&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#23356F&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;38px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.1em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#74C0EB&#8221; header_4_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#74C0EB&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Satya Nadella (CEO van Microsoft)<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>\u201cThe notion of empathy, and the idea of listening and learning, is critical.
