Description

I run Marly Sessions, where I design and facilitate strategy workshops and team sessions that help organisations turn complex discussions into clear decisions and action.

My experience spans tech scale-ups (ML6, Felyx), the startup ecosystem (TECHLEAP.NL), and healthcare and social impact consulting (Het Potentieel Pakken). My work often sits at the intersection of strategy, innovation and organisational change, where teams need structured conversations to move forward.

Clients typically bring me in to design and facilitate sessions such as:

• Leadership alignment sessions – facilitating leadership cadences and decision-focused meetings

• Strategy and innovation workshops – translating research and stakeholder interviews into concrete strategic choices, including developing AI adoption roadmaps and identifying practical use cases

• Large-scale change programmes – designing facilitation formats, facilitating sessions and supporting broader organisational change and adoption through structured programmes

• Startup and ecosystem events – moderating conversations with founders and leadership groups

My approach combines structured facilitation with strong synthesis: helping teams translate complex discussions, data and stakeholder input into clear decisions, pragmatic pilots and measurable next steps.
