Valour Insights

Just over five years ago, I completed my Master’s in BPMIT after two and a half years with the words: “Yay me!” Today, I can say those words once again. After no less than two years and 29 days of persevering, learning, presenting, writing, analysing (and above all, keep going!), I have officially as an Executive Master of Finance & Control ( EMFC/ RC ). So… Yay me .. again! This journey was by no means easy. It involved full Fridays spent in the classroom, intensive courses,

Nieuwe opdracht bij Woonbedrijf in Eindhoven. Op het snijvlak van strategie en finance, met grote sociale impact.

After 22 intensive, insightful and impactful months, my interim role at Brightlands Chemelot Campus has come to an end. Brightlands Chemelot Campus is a unique ecosystem where innovation, science and entrepreneurship meet. Within this setting, real estate plays a vital role in enabling growth and development.

Looking back on an extraordinary 2024 fills me with pride, a year full of meaningful collaborations and memorable moments. This holiday season, I’m reflecting on gratitude and connection. Wishing everybody a merry Christmas and a happy, successful 2025. Let’s make it another fantastic year! 🎄🥂

Valour Consulting & Mestreechs Volleks Tejater.

Valour Consulting just hit its 3-year anniversary , and it’s been an incredible experience! What started as an idea, little over 3 years ago, has turned into something I’m really passionate about. Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to work with some amazing clients and help them tackle real challenges in a fast-changing business world. Looking back, I’m grateful for how much I’ve learned and the relationships I’ve built along the way. I’m excited to keep growing,

Happy summer!! Achievements and proud moments

Last Friday I completed the UMIO training program for aspiring members of a Supervisory Board and officially earned my certification. This journey has been an eye-opener, offering me some invaluable insights and reigniting my passion for effective governance and oversight. For the past year and a half, I’ve been dedicated to this intensive program. UMIO, known for its expertise in management and organization, really prepared me for the vital role of a supervisor in modern or

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news: my one-person business has undergone a transformation and is now officially a private limited company (BV). This means I'm delighted to introduce Valour Consulting BV to you all! The transition from a small business to a BV marks a significant milestone after considerable effort and dedication. It's truly gratifying to witness the growth and evolution. Valour Consulting BV embodies the core values I hold dear: commitment to delivering

It's with great pleasure and excitement that I share with you today the news of Valour Consulting's 2-year anniversary. What a remarkable journey it has been! Two years ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to venture into the world of interim finance&management. Today, I can confidently say that it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The happiness and fulfillment I've experienced in this time are immeasurable, and I'm grateful for the opportunities that have come m

Perhaps you have seen the pictures of me on a bike on this website.. I like to bike around the city, go to the market, libraby etc. Though I love to do this, I'm not a real cyclist myself and I appreciate the local cycling club, Den Duiker . This year, I decided to sponsor them because they're not just about cycling; they're about community. And I'm proud to see my company's name on their cycling jerseys. My sponsorship contributes to their events and other initiatives. Despi

I just finished my most recent assignment at Esaote , where I filled the gap between a departure and a new hire as a finance manager/business controller. Of course, I've donated to TreesforAll in honor of this assignment. In The Netherlands, trees will be planted for greening the countryside (planting trees and hedges in rural areas) and in Sulawesi (Indonesia), for moving from grassland to tropical rainforest. It is now time for a well deserved vacation . I am available for

I spent the last six months working at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht. The assignment was to get finances in order, to restructure what needs to be restructured; to migrate from an on-premise accounting package to an online one; also have a look at a project information system and to create a meaningful dashboard with all relevant information. That sounds like a lot, and it is.. a lot fun too! At the start of the assignment, I created my own analysis tool, which provid

I am not only the proud owner of my own company (and FYI: I just started my fourth interim assignment as Business controller at Esaote Europe in collaboration with Sparke & Keane ), but I have also joined the network of Ondernemende Vrouwen Maastricht (Entrepreneurial Women of Maastricht). My company description and what I offer as an OVM member was published today on International Women's Day, a very happy coincidence. The fact that I am part of this group of strong, indep

I have completed my second assignment as an interim professional at AnQore . Again, it's been a very enjoyable project covering a maternity leave. Having worked in the chemical industry for almost 13 years prior, working at AnQore felt like coming home to me. Certainly, I missed the fast-paced environment and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances - especially in light of the current market's impact on industries. I really loved it! AnQore's entire team made m

Today marks the one-year anniversary of me being self-employed! On October 18th 2021, I registered my “Company of One” at the Chamber of Commerce and soon after I landed my first assignment. And next to that, today I also started my third assignment! A double celebration! In my newly appointed position at the Bonnefantenmuseum , I will be responsible for business and financial controlling, as well as optimizing the financial administration and underlying processes. In additio

My very first assignment is done! I covered for a maternity leave at LECO Europe BV in Geleen and I am very thankful for the opportunity given, but I am especially thankful for the amazing people there. They are all so very kind and welcoming! During the entire time I felt as a part of the Leco-family . I couldn’t wish for a better and nicer first project to start with as a freelancer. Those months have flown by. And perhaps this is not a goodbye, but a see you later! (Well

Of course, I have been working as a freelancer for some time now, as I officially started in October 2021.
