Meet our Business Transformations Consultants.

Caroline Janssens
Senior Transformation Consultant , Highberg

“To me, the consulting world is about helping organizations when there’s something to uncover—something they want to improve but aren’t sure how.”

Amy van Zuydam
Business Transformation Consultant, Highberg

“For me, the most rewarding aspect is the balance between collaboration and exploration. I’m constantly inspired by the driven, entrepreneurial colleagues I work with, while each assignment also pushes me to understand a new organization — its specific context, challenges, and people. That sense of discovery keeps the work endlessly engaging.”
