I had the pleasure of working with Henk during a challenging and exciting time at MDhearingaid. His leadership and mentorship was rare to say the least. He guided the company to substantial topline growth, led every effort diligently and with poise, all the while never micro managing or suffocating the people he very selectively hired to carry out the diverse work. Henk always made himself available to discuss ideas and solutions lending his experience and perspective to any conversation.
I was always impressed that even while deep in financials, he still seemed to have his eye on exactly what was going on at the ground level never losing sight of our destination. I’ve had the pleasure of working with many CEOs in my 25 years in technology, and Henk is right at the top of the list. His insight, availability, discernment, and calibration are very rare to find in one place. Henk is the leader you want if growth, team building, trust, attention to detail, the ability to make difficult calls, and calm in the face of challenges are in order. I’d gladly work for and alongside him again should the offer ever be made.
