After a career as an economist, communications advisor, and lobbyist in the financial sector, Wouter transitioned to Wepublic to apply his expertise across a wide range of clients and sectors. At ING, he spent many years in various roles engaging with social and political stakeholders. This provided him with deep insights into the dynamics, dilemmas, and complex decision-making processes within the boardroom, including during crises. Additionally, he led teams in the Netherlands, Germany, and internationally.
A key driver in his advisory work is helping clients refine their social compass, a crucial task for many organizations as stakeholder expectations regarding their role in society and the economy continue to grow.
In addition to his role at Wepublic, he is involved with the German-Dutch Chamber of Commerce (DNHK), where he served as a board member for three years (2021-2024), and he is also active at hockey club Upward in Arnhem.
Do you need help refining your organization’s social compass? Or are you seeking effective dialogue with your stakeholders and facing a complex web of interests? Wouter is ready to assist.
