“After iBanx, I started Zhimble because I passionately believe one thing: if all people involved in industry can learn to take more personal responsibility, for themselves and others, everybody will benefit. Plants will be safer and more efficient, adapting new methods of working will become effortless and real world challenges can be tackled. I believe we are at the dawn of an exciting time, and it is my aim to help industry play a leading role in the transformation of our society.

My strength lies in bringing to the surface the "authentic strategy" of an organization. It is not the strategy as defined in the boardroom, but the inner direction that the organization is really working towards. Once this is 'on the table', true performance can evolve.”
