Concrete recommendations – meaningful solutions
My mission as an advisor is to help CEOs of family-owned companies and SMEs take their business to the next level. Not by offering fat and impenetrable reports. But by making concrete recommendations and holding efficient face-to-face sparring sessions with owners and directors. I put forward meaningful and inspiring solutions. And connect you with the right experts. Ensuring you are always one step ahead.
Targeted expertise at board level
Voorsprong advises CEOs and boards of SMEs and larger family-owned companies about the key business success factors. I listen and analyse. Participate and contribute. To help map out your road to success. With concrete and realistic solutions.

Building solutions together
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for resolving business challenges. That is why I always look at your specific needs – and work with you to develop the best solutions in a step-by-step process.
Solutions can only succeed if they have sufficient support, particularly when emotional processes are involved (as is often the case in family-owned companies). That is why I also work hard to get everyone on board and pulling in the same direction.
Voorsprong is your reliable partner, with proven experience in the above areas of expertise. A trusted advisor who aims to achieve enduring results based on an effective business policy. At short notice if necessary – but always with your long-term business continuity in mind.
The correct specialists
Where other disciplines are relevant for your situation, I can put you in touch with external experts in a wide range of fields (e.g. legal, tax, organisational, and governance).
Approachable, 1-on-1 advice. Practical and without fuss
Voorsprong believes that family-owned companies are best served with clear and to-the-point advice. Don’t expect complicated advisory processes and fat reports. First I assess the situation in hand. By making an incisive and pragmatic analysis of the company, market position and other key factors.
Promising strategy for the future
Next, I work closely with you to build concrete solutions . 1-on-1 or in a broader team if appropriate. Answers are often already latently present within the organisation. The trick is to bring them to the surface. And translate these inherent solutions into viable strategies full of promise for the future.
No fuss – efficiency benefits everyone
Sometimes, immediate steps forward can be made to remedy or prevent problems. In situations involving more radical action – such as a change of direction, strategy update or new business implementation – a longer-term commitment is required. In all cases, Voorsprong adheres to a practical ‘lean-and-mean’ approach. Without fuss. Because efficiency benefits everyone.
Wide-ranging network of experts
Clearly, Voorsprong only advises, assists and coaches in its own areas of specialisation. Any other issues are referred to specific experts. My wide-ranging network comprises specialised service providers, supervisory board members and investors. Ensuring that you can always count on the best support.
