"At NetApp, I was nearing selection for an international management role. José's steadfast coaching helped me uncover and attain the required management skills. José has a knack for showing the broader context and exploring how things are connected. That helped me with navigating a complex international work environment. Personable and expert in his approach, I highly recommend José for strategic coaching and advisory."

"Selling and managing sales is still very much about process but increasingly requires advanced consulting skills and a deep understanding of the business models of those we work with and sell to. José is an inspiring sales leader with a strong track record of selling to large accounts and managing high performance sales-teams, be it a startup team or a senior sales team in a corporate environment. He helped a startup-unit within Mansystems succesfully launch a new SaaS-product into the market. José leads by example: great in scoping and controlling a sales cycle, an out of the box thinker with great anticipation and analytical skills. Usually a step ahead and an excellent game changer if and when needed. I've have had the privilege to work with José in several phases of my career and still do."

"José deed met ons team van controllers zijn workshop Business Control die ons praktisch aangaf hoe het partnership met de business vorm te geven, zodanig dat zij betere investerings- en control beslissingen kunnen nemen. Daarnaast heb ik een aantal coaching-sessies met hem gedaan die mij daarbij helpen. Het is fantastisch te ervaren dat de aanpak van José direct toepasbaar is in de praktijk en echt bijdraagt in het dagelijks werk. Als je als organisatie of individu op zoek bent naar een betere aanpak van strategiebrede en of marketingzaken kan ik Jose echt aanbevelen"
