As former c-suite executives and non-executive board members, we understand the challenges facing company boards first-hand.
Founded by Ruud Hopstaken, who combines 30 years’ boardroom experience with education and training in system-psychodynamics, SpringBoard works to address these challenges and engineer outstanding team collaboration all around the world.
Too often, a lack of common ground, complex undercurrents and competing agendas adversely affect boardroom performance and ultimately undermine results.
Our approach of review and coaching encourages you to question existing assumptions and transform your boardroom relations via structural and behavioural change.
Together, we’ll unlock open communication, optimise each individual's role and empower the board as a whole to instil long-lasting habits that enhance collaboration and performance.
Ruud serves in a number of Supervisory Board positions across various sectors.
He was previously Chief Executive of a Single Family Office and has served as Vice chair and CFO at Amsterdam University Medical Center, CFO at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Director at Buma.
Ruud holds a Masters in Executive Coaching from Ashridge Business School, a degree in Family/Board Dynamics from the Tavistock Institute and a Masters in Economics from the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
He is currently completing his PhD in Board Dynamics at the University
of Essex.
