Gilles Holl
Chief Digital & E-commerce Officer (CDO) - The Cookware Company
“As our (Interim) Digital Marketing Director, Bart has helped us enormously to improve, strengthen and above all align our digital marketing activities. This all in a short period of time. He also successfully delivered a long-term plan on how to strengthen and scale our digital marketing operation within the coming 2 years. Moreover, everyone in the organization liked to work with and for Bart. He quickly creates trust and is a great personality to have in your team.”
Fiona Zwinkels-Stalker
VP Sales & Marketing - Safescan
“It was a pleasure to work with Bart, he always comes in with a positive energy and is willing to look at projects as many times needed without giving up. He works at a high pace and has a lot of focus on getting things done!"
Thijs Duyzings
Head of Marketing AH E-commerce & AH To Go - Ahold Delhaize
“As from our first introduction call until the last day that we worked together, Bart had made an enthusiastic and highly skilled impression on me. It was a no-brainer to hire Bart for a role as interim Brand Activation manager at Albert Heijn, in which he managed several propositions at the same time and brought one proposition (Maaltijd Thuis) to a next level from marketing perspective. He is high on energy and a strong connector. Pro-active and makes things concrete and well-organized. Finally he brings added value from his full backpack of wide marketing (and communication) knowledge and experience. It was a pleasure working with you these past months!”
Boris van Beek
Executive Vice President MKB (SME) - KPN
“I highly recommend Bart. Digital native who learned the telecom specifics in a short period of time and built the bridge between digital and customer operations teams. He was also able to initiate and implement changes based on analysis and with empathy towards colleagues. Conclusion, a great colleague to work with in the field of digitization."
Tom de Vos
D2C (Direct to Consumer) Director Benelux - Samsung Benelux
“Bart supported us at Samsung for a 5-month assignment, managing our Media & Advertising team. Very quickly up to speed, it was a pleasure working with him. Bart has been very dynamic and reliable, supporting our organization review and strategy plan next to the regular operation management.”
Rene Repko
Marketing Director - Action
“I have worked with Bart for more than 2 years. Bart's presence at Action was instrumental in the Digital Transformation 2016-2018. When we started there was almost nothing, hardly any digital presence or CRM. No social media. Not a single person working on digital. Bart and a few others started the digital engine, plan based, focussed. His energy and the positive vibe was crucial. He knew the substance and key processes. When I left, we had a new CMS and CRM and a significant part of advertising spend was digital. With store traffic attribution modelling included. Moreover, he was able to develop effective brand content and campaigns. Bart was seated in the cockpit during that journey and a vital marketing team member. Great guy.”
Anouk Kooijmans
Director @ The NOMAD Company
“I worked with Bart when our company was going through tough times. His enthusiasm for digital and for brands is contagious and fuelled the changes we needed. His knowledge and insights on 'how to' helped us to take next steps . He did not shy away from giving his opinion even when it was not always what I wanted to hear. A great trait when you want to shape a company into new thinking. Last but not least he is not all talk but also gets things done. A power combination of head, heart and hands and just great to work with.”
Jeroen Brink
Manager E-Commerce & Online Sales
“I've had the pleasure of working with Bart for 5 months in his ad-interim assignment within one of my teams. In this assignment, he succesfully managed our digital marketing team servicing large-scale consumer brands such as NU.nl, Flow, Theaterclub, Ouders van Nu & Donald Duck. To me, Bart is a bright, performance-driven and knowledgeable colleague who sets a high standard in all of his activities. Bart is a critical and analytical thinker, and at the same time pragmatic with a strong focus on 'getting the job done'. With his skills and his kind and sociable approach, I would recommend, and am very confident, that Bart would be a great addition to any digitally-minded and data-driven team who needs an experienced manager in order to improve sales results.”
