Fractional COO | Operations & Supply Chain Executive | Transformation & Performance Improvement

About Me

Experienced COO and international Operations & Supply Chain executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience across Europe and Asia. I support companies that need stronger operational structure, clearer accountability and better execution. My background includes end-to-end Supply Chain, manufacturing, S&OP/IBP, logistics, procurement, KPI and performance management, ERP/WMS transformation, Operational Excellence and organisational change. I have led complex multi-site organisations and international teams and delivered measurable improvements in service, productivity, inventory, cost and operational performance. Previous roles include COO and Director Operations / Supply Chain Europe in international manufacturing and life-sciences environments. Through VBX – Van Beek Execution, I am available for fractional COO, interim leadership and transformation assignments across DACH, Benelux and wider Europe. My approach is pragmatic and execution-focused: create clarity, establish ownership, improve performance and make change sustainable.
