ABOUT
Evert has worked for 20 years in senior management of international Telecom and IT companies such as Philips Data Systems, France Telecom, Space Systems Loral, Intelsat, KPN and Global Metro Networks. He is one of the people who stood at the cradle of building the internet. Later, he started a management consultancy company with which he supported technology and innovation businesses. His professional life revolves around strategy, organisation, technology, innovation and sustainability.
In 2001, Evert decided to reduce his management activities and follow his passion. He became a professional underwater wild-life cameraman. He has travelled the world from Micronesia to the Galapagos and participated in a number of documentaries about the state of our oceans. During one of these trips, he (re)discovered the phenomenon of natural self-organising systems: Swarms. And almost immediately, he understood the benefits this behavior could have in human organisations. He identified a unique set of principles that facilitates this behavior and combined them into an innovative model for creating future-proof organisations: the SWARM Solution. In 2020, he published his book SWARM Organisation. In this book, Evert describes why our current organizational models can no longer function and how the SWARM Organisation model offers a solution for this.
Evert lives, together with his wife Pauline, on the island of Bonaire. He holds a Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Groningen, INSEAD and Wharton University of Pennsylvania
