Entrepeneurs in Real-Life
Part of our learning (as teams individuals and groups) is the way we have grown. In an emerging way (building the bridge while walking over it / chaos theory) and guided / inspired by real entrepreneurs. In our team we are fortunate to meet:
- Dominique Nedee: (Son of) Belgiums well known banker / business-man and entrepreneur in leisure (Corsendonk, Retie, Turnhout, Ardennes), corporate responsibility, international projects (o.a. India) and our stake holder / member of the board of Inspiration of De Beukelaar Groep / Corsendonk College/
- Felix walter: Unbelievable business angels, charismatic and modest, adventurous and concentrated, young at heart and experienced. Our guide, wasp, helping hand and strategic light-tower.
- Thomas Blekman: Creator of intrascale (the first valid instrument to test entrepreneurial skills); designer of entrepreneurial workshops, sessions and and an example of courageous behaviour. (university teacher, RSM Erasmus university, partner of De Beukelaar Groep, ING-interim manager, living together with a German wife; just to name a few!)
- Ton van Leeuwen: Our "rock in the (financial) river", sold his accountancy firm and became the conscience / guide of our group and partners. The trustful help in strategy, financial decision-making and with big contracts. But also friendly, warm and sharp!
- Elco Haers: From stagiair into helping hand with the marketing of ‘our' campings he turned into a CFO / Marketing executive (a rare combination after having runned our HagenHorst, camping-site, language- institute). An example of change, flexibility and learning. Graving into senior controlling and information manager (of all parts of the group) and inspired by his nestor Felix Walter.
