650 Degrees

Organizational Change, Business Development and Value Creation

I founded 650 Degrees to help clients in organizational change, business development, and value creation through process improvements, and program- and interim management. My approach is no-nonsense and hands-on, where I help entrepreneurs focus, manage and run their organisations and business initiatives

I bring 13 years of experience in operational and commercial leadership roles, program management and management consulting. Industries we’ve worked with include banking, private equity and venture capitalism, retail, telco, tech, media, energy and facility management.

SVP Technology Strategy LetGo

Pablo Garrido

SVP Technology Strategy LetGo

Thijs is a solid forward-thinking consultant that will always bring a fresh viewpoint to the table. Had the pleasure to partner and collaborate with him in a transformational journey at Letgo with the intent of moving into a new operational model as we shifted business strategy. His contribution was fundamental to help us challenge our assumptions, perceive our gaps, connect the dots and define a bold roadmap to move on.
