About Executive Consultancy – Evert Bleijenberg:

Evert worked for about 20 years in senior management at international telecom and IT companies such as Philips Data Systems, Space Systems Loral, Intelsat, and KPN. He was one of the people who helped build the internet. In 1998, he started his own strategy consultancy, supporting various organizations.

In 2001, Evert decided to phase out his management activities and pursue his passion. He became a professional underwater cameraman. During one of his film trips, he (re)discovered the phenomenon of natural self-organizing systems: swarms. And almost immediately, he understood the benefits this behavior could bring to human organizations. In 2020, he published his book, “SWARM Organization,” in which he describes why our current organizational models are no longer functional and how the SWARM Organization Model offers a solution.

Evert lives on Bonaire. He holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Groningen, INSEAD, and Wharton University of Pennsylvania. His professional life revolves around organization, technology, innovation, and sustainability. He is a guest lecturer at Nyenrode Business University and PW Academy and is a regular speaker at business events.
