Value. Beyond. Design.

As a Team Manager I have worked with Gerbrandt for about 14 months directly. I have found him to be 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 found him to be a 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.

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

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.

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.
