Deciding is easy, but doing can be hard. Companies can have fantastic strategies, wonderful implementation plans and lots of good intentions, but what matters in the end is what people actually do about them. That is what I find so exciting about working with Quest Worldwide; getting whole companies involved, irrespective of their size and making strategy happen.
Arjan has worked with companies of all shapes and sizes, as both a manager and a management consultant. He started off his career at the head office of Philips Electronics in the Netherlands and moved with them to the UK. Rather than moving again with Philips he decided to stay in the UK and worked with Telewest Broadband, an Internet company and PricewaterhouseCoopers, before joining Quest Worldwide in 2006.
Bringing 12 years experience in driving change and operational improvement with him to Quest, Arjan has built up a solid understanding of the interdependencies between the business environment, the organisation, people and supporting technologies; any change in one aspect will affect one or more of the others. He also has extensive experience with working in multicultural organisations and speaks three languages.
Arjan has a BBA and MSc degree in business administration from Universiteit Nyenrode in the Netherlands.
