Janko Klaeijsen

In 2008 I co-founded Top of Minds together with Auke Bijnsdorp. In that role, I work with my team to guide organisations through strategic and digital transformations. I focus on placing C-level executives — including CEOs, CCOs, CMOs and CDOs — within consumer goods and retail, for scale-ups, corporates, private equity parties and international family offices. We work for investors including Mentha, Waterland, Gilde Equity and Vendis.

Thanks to my many years of experience in consumer goods, I have deep market knowledge and a strong network. This enables me to carefully assess which leaders can genuinely make an impact in a specific context. In my advisory role, I challenge clients with constructively critical questions to help them clearly define their needs and ambitions.

The result: organisations that move forward with purpose and candidates who choose an environment in which they can truly thrive. In this way, both clients and executives achieve lasting progress."
