Tony de Bree’s Summary

I am a senior strategy, innovation and radical change management consultant and interim manager with wide range of experiences in many different positions in the Financial Services sector. From senior sales in the investment bank, to head of business support, to head of backoffice, to strategy design and implementation (business, IT HR and Compliance/Due Diligence Management) to global program manager Compliance and Due Diligence Management and much more.

I am especially interested in how to use new technology in different domains to implement flexible and client-responsive organisations including how to use social networking and social media in support of business models, BPM and process management in business-webs within the Financial Services industry going forward. Including

I use my online freelancing to get practical experiences of entrepreneurship in an extreme competitive online environment to stay focused and alert. And to know what new trends will be and what the issues are that financial institutions will face.

I also like to create a professional but human working environment where everybody can leverage his or her competencies in an optimal way.

My goal in life is leading a balanced but exiting life together with my wife, kids, friends and partners across the World to achieve measurable, tangible results in an entrepreneurial environment. Using also virtual collaboration models to work together with people across the Globe. And then put it all into practice.

And have fun....

My motto in life is "Either do it, or stop talking about it".
