Jeffrey Vander Linden

Jeff Vander Linden helps complex global organisations make their boldest strategic bets executable. With 25+ years leading enterprise transformation across consumer products, energy, manufacturing, and financial services, he specialises in the hard middle ground between strategy and delivery: operating model design, GBS strategy and integration, and organisation design for scale.

His track record spans some of the world's largest consumer goods multinationals, regulated energy and infrastructure businesses, publicly listed cleantech scale-ups, and global professional services firms — with outcomes including a $2.5B NPV business case for an enterprise-wide GBS transition at a global FMCG multinational, a revenue pivot from zero to £9M+ at a publicly listed cleantech scale-up, and alignment of 100+ stakeholders at a FTSE 100 consumer goods company to enable GBS partner selection.

Jeff operates at his best when standard approaches fall short: in high-stakes environments, politically complex organisations, and cross-cultural settings — fluent in Japanese, conversational in French and Italian — where collaborative leadership is the difference between a plan and a result.
