Ted was een aantal jaren mijn direct leidinggevende. Ted onderscheidt zich door zijn uitzonderlijke kwaliteiten als people manager en zijn natuurlijke vermogen om het beste in zijn teamleden naar boven te halen. Wat Ted uniek maakt, is zijn authentieke benadering van leiderschap. Hij creëert een werkomgeving waarin open communicatie en wederzijds vertrouwen centraal staan. Door zijn empathische houding voelen teamleden zich niet alleen gehoord, maar ook echt begrepen. Ted heeft de bijzondere gave om complexe situaties te doorgronden en deze op een constructieve manier te benaderen, waarbij hij altijd oog houdt voor zowel de menselijke als de zakelijke aspecten. Ted's strategische inzicht en besluitvaardigheid zijn indrukwekkend. Hij heeft een scherp oog voor kansen en mogelijkheden, en weet deze effectief te vertalen naar concrete actieplannen. Daarbij verliest hij nooit de menselijke factor uit het oog - veranderingen worden zorgvuldig gecommuniceerd en geïmplementeerd, met respect voor ieders perspectief en bijdrage.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Ted for five years, during which I developed great appreciation for his leadership as our chief operation officer. Ted has an exceptional ability to maintain oversight while focusing on the bigger picture, ensuring that strategies are both practical and solution-oriented. His rational mindset and strong stress resilience enable him to navigate complex challenges with a clear and effective approach. These qualities were invaluable to elho during the challenging COVID period, where we experienced significant growth despite difficult circumstances. What truly sets Ted apart is his keen eye for talent. He has a remarkable ability to build strong teams and identify young professionals with great potential, fostering their growth within the organization. Ted also thrives on setting up and executing large-scale projects, such as successfully relocating our entire logistics operation within just 12 months of the decision being made. Beyond his professional strengths, he is a great colleague to work with—open to feedback and always willing to improve. I highly recommend Ted to any organization looking for a results-driven and people-focused leader.

I got to learn Ted as my successor at this beautiful Family Brewery (Royal Swinkels), noticed he discovered the right improvement potentials, and was not reluctant to realise these potentials. He was a perfect fit to bring the SC to the next level in a period of company growth, acquiring several beer brands.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ted as COO at elho. I got to know him as a man with a pleasant personality and a good sense of humor which creates a nice and open working atmosphere. He always manages to keep calm even in challenging situations and doesn't let himself get crazy easily which gives confidence to everyone around him. What makes Ted really special is his ability to bring people together who fit well together and build teams that work together harmoniously and effectively. He sees the potential in people and knows how to motivate them in the right way. As a people manager, Ted excels at creating an environment in which people have room to develop and to use their talents to the fullest. In short, Ted is an inspiring colleague and a great talent in seeing and connecting people. I heartily recommend him to anyone looking for someone to contribute to a positive and effective work environment.
