Gerbrandt is an architect who takes the profession of IT-Architect to the next level. Combining different fields like ISO-25010 with service delivery to create a metric system quantifying RfP-result. I have been very fortunate to cooperate with Gerbrandt to create an IT Infrastructure architecture not only fitting the organisation perfectly but also impressing our suppliers to a point were they asked to incorporate the design in their presentations. He is years ahead in his approach that architects should deliver results and provides the methods to do so.

Gerbrandt is a thorough leader standing strong for getting results. His enthousiasm is enormous and through his coaching and inspiring leadership this project has become a success.

As a Team Manager I have worked with Gerbrandt for about 14 months directly. He is analytical and concise in his work. And a strong communicator of ideas and solutions. Gerbrandt is one of those people that have managerial potential but choose to remain in the technical arena. I consider him an important asset in the success of our team while working on the data and backend migrations of UWV. (25000 users and 120 locations at that time). Gerbrandt has become a personal friend.

I have been the first client in Gerbrandt coaching sessions. The way he evangelizes and coaches in IT architecture is refreshing and catching. In my projects after the sessions I could practice his insights right away. This was fruitful for myself and my customers: I can add value in a structural way.
