EXPERT
INTERVIEWS

Tap into senior expertise to validate ideas and reduce strategic risk

Through his global network, Joeri organizes and conducts in-depth expert interviews with academics, industry specialists and (former) executives. These conversations bring outside-in perspective to strategy, innovation, due diligence and market-entry decisions.

INSIGHT-LED INSPIRATION & STORYTELLING

Translate consumer and generational insights into clarity and direction

Joeri creates custom keynotes, workshops and reports that help teams understand changing consumer behaviour, cultural dynamics and generational shifts, and what they mean for brands, products and organizations.

STRATEGIC SOUND BOARDING & CONSULTING

Sharpen strategic thinking with an experienced sparring partner

As an independent expert, Joeri works closely with teams and leaders to challenge assumptions, refine positioning and strengthen go-to-market and innovation choices, always with a focus on real decisions and impact.

How organizations use Joeri's work

Organizations turn to Joeri when they are looking for fresh, insight-led inspiration, but also when they need more analytical or validating input.

This can include analysing positioning or cultural meaning, pressure-testing new product or campaign ideas, validating assumptions around a new market entry, or building external proof points to strengthen internal alignment.

Joeri often collaborates closely with internal teams, agencies or consultants, helping to improve conceptual thinking and sharpen the story before it is presented to management, executive committees or boards.

A flexible way of working

Research & consulting is not a fixed methodology or one-size-fits-all offer.

Joeri adapts his role depending on what is most useful:

as an independent expert bringing outside-in perspective.
as a sounding board during key strategic discussions.
as a connector to specialized expertise through expert interviews.
or as a storyteller translating insight into clear, convincing narratives.

What connects all projects is a focus on relevance, clarity and decision-making impact.
