Tako van Croonenborgh

Managing Director • Aquacare Europe

“For some years I have been working with Philippe. His honest interest in people and the role in the organization creates an open atmosphere for a dialog. By asking questions, listening and challenging the information that has been discussed you will experience you have been looking the the situation from different angles. This in the end gives you more confident that decisions made are the right ones. The way Philippe is guiding you through a discussion feels natural and I did learn a lot from this. This experience did help me to bring across messages much easier to others.

Phillipe has a lot of experience in different industries, customer level, management positions which he is using to keep the big picture in mind.

Great to have worked with him and by the way a great person to have drink with outside work!”

Sales manager Eastern Europe • Pall

“Philippe management style is coach and mentor. When needed he provided straightforward direction and advice and use the power of the people.

For me, as a sales manager in Russia and CIS, it was very important to understand general strategy and goals of the company, to discuss and agree ideas, plans, success, and failures, receive feedback on my activities.

With Philippe, we had regular meetings and phone calls where Philippe communicated with me in open way. He always listening to my needs, give good advice, asking the right questions and helping to execute when needed, give open feedback.  Philippe is very positive person with very high empathy to me and colleagues. His communication style is friendly, honest, open, and straight forward. He acts as a coach and help me to achieve results.  Philippe set up clear goals, ask to execute these goals and was always available to support when needed. He said often – “I am working to support you”. But he not only said – he executed what he promised.

 

This idea from Philippe about importance of listening I implemented with each member of my team.

Listening to employees and customers, collecting their ideas and needs, implementing these needs, supporting and coaching the team – that are keys in success. Philippe explain me this strategy and help to implement in real life.

I am very happy that Philippe was my boss. I learnt and lot from him and will be very happy to work with him again.

All knowledge and ideas from Philippe stay with me forever and I continue to use these tools in my current role – sales manager East Europe at Pall Food and Beverage.

I highly recommend Philippe as real cool coach in all management aspects including values, culture, strategy, tactics, etc.”

“I am one of those who had the chance to work with and for Philippe. An experienced and charismatic leader, Philippe shares his energy with his team.

 

As a daily coach, he brings real, objective and positive feedback. He knows how to federate and engage people giving sense to action.

 

Attentive, he knows how to detect the strengths of people and contribute to their development so they can become future talents for the company. Trusting people and giving them transversal mission, leaving autonomy to achieve goals, coaching and helping delivering results and finally making people visible to his peers, this is the way Philippe works.”
