Chris Prill – COO local classifieds
I have known Wouter since 2005 and was impressed from the moment go. Wouter brings exceptional strategy skills to the table with an uncanny push towards execution by rolling up his sleeves and working extremely hard to get things done. More over, Wouter is one of the nicest and well-meaning people I have ever come across. Not surprisingly, this translates into unparalleled loyalty from his directs. Wouter is an exceptional General Manager and CEO and I look forward to any opportunity to work with him again.
Elizabeth Munn – Managing Director, Global Medical Education
Wouter was a trusted and valued partner—always approachable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. His leadership style is calm, respectful, and grounded in a clear strategic vision. With a truly global scope—leading teams across Europe and the US—Wouter consistently focused on value creation and long-term growth. His deep expertise in digital marketplaces, both transactional and subscription-based, was evident in every project we worked on together. I particularly appreciated Wouter’s collaborative mindset and ability to stay composed under pressure. He brought clarity and energy to complex challenges, and was always a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for a globally-minded, entrepreneurial leader with a proven track record in healthcare, medical education, and research markets, I highly recommend Wouter.
Alex Craig – VP Technology
Wouter is able to balance clear, candid, and sometimes uncomfortable, direction and feedback, with an empathetic and human perspective. This means he isn’t afraid to call out things that can be improved but is always the first to recognise and celebrate success. Something that easily said but much harder done. As a result, I’m always blown away by the speed and effectiveness with which Wouter is able to bring diverse and complex groups together, mobilise, and inspire them to achieve a common goal. At a personal level, I’ve always hugely valued Wouters insight and advice. I know he can always be trusted to provide a clear, honest, and objective perspective. Something for which I am frequently very grateful.
Daan Sanders – Sr. Associate New Business Development
Wouter is a very special person, not only in business, but also as a person. I have worked with Wouter for over two years and got to know him rather well. He always seeks for new (business) opportunities and has a constant drive to make things better or do things better (unlimited dedication and energy…yes there were times that I got tired of him ;-)). Although he is working hard and requires the same of his team, he also “keeps an eye” on people. He is interested in people and genuinely cares about them. Next to being ambitious and a good father, he is also interested in classical music, opera, skiing, sailing, etc. which means you’re not discussing business all the time in the “after office hours” drinks. Thanks for all you’re help, support and fun!
