Budeco, the Business Development Company was founded in 2009. The company is led by Marco Frijlink and Wilco Verdoold.
Marco Frijlink was Director of Education at DNV Academy until 2009. Previously, he was Director of Education and co-owner of CIBIT Consultants | Educators (now DNV) for more than ten years. Marco has always been actively committed to furthering the innovation and growth of his companies.
Marco has extensive (international) experience in areas ranging from service development and (online) marketing to strategy, team and partner development. He enjoys creating organisational energy by inspiring people towards innovation.
His personal motto is ‘Without a goal, there’s no direction’.
Wilco Verdoold
Wilco Verdoold worked as a senior consultant at CIBIT Consultants | Educators from 1997 to 2003, focusing on areas such as e-business, knowledge management and innovation. Subsequently, he joined Sogyo’s board to support the company’s qualitative and quantitative growth. Until August 2009, he had final responsibility for business development, HR (including training and recruitment) and marketing.
Besides providing consultancy, (interim) management and coaching services, Wilco is also regularly in demand as a trainer and (guest) lecturer. He has worked for a wide range of customers, from large corporates such as Sara Lee, ABN AMRO, Logica, ING and Philips to various innovative start-ups.
Wilco is dedicated to creativity and innovation, but always sticks to the following basic rule: ‘It’s better to execute a good idea brilliantly than to execute a brilliant idea well’
Vision – Mission
Budeco’s vision is that organisations need to continuously innovate and grow in order to remain successful. Budeco’s mission is to help organisations achieve this in the most effective way. We believe that new business development benefits from a fresh outsider’s perspective. After all, in good times, businesses do not have the time to innovate and in tougher times, the focus is often shifted to efficiency. Nothing wrong with that, except for the risk of necessary innovations being postponed for too long. That is where Budeco steps in.
