Edward de Jong
Interim CEO & Operations Director
As Interim CEO or Operations Director, I bring direction where it is lacking, structure where chaos reigns, and energy where organizations are stuck.
Whether it involves a turnaround, growth acceleration, or strategic transformation, I am ready to make a visible contribution from day one.
Leadership Profile
Over 30 years of leadership experience in recycling, circular economy, infrastructure, and production. From turnarounds to growth acceleration.
Strategic Depth
MBA-level strategic thinking, translated into concrete choices and actionable plans.
People-oriented Leadership
Direct, genuine, and visible on the shop floor. I build trust and ownership in teams quickly.
Operational Excellence
Bringing structure, optimizing processes, and achieving operational excellence with measurable results.
Interim leadership with lasting impact
I am a go-getter who makes an immediate impact. With over 30 years of leadership experience, I step in quickly and set the necessary changes in motion.
What I often find is not a lack of plans, but a lack of coherence. Strategy, operations, and people are not aligned. I quickly see where the friction lies and bring direction, structure, and clarity so that teams can build, perform, and grow again.
Available upon consultation. No long onboarding period; I read organizations quickly and make an impact from day one.
