I'm Peter Rademakers, Founder and Principal Consultant at Motion5.

After years of experience in the Ordina board room, I founded Motion5 in 2003, which has since grown into a wonderful company. The name Motion5 was based on our vision. Today, I still convey this vision on change and commerce to our clients with great conviction.

I constantly strive to improve the content of our products. I have plenty of time for that, since I'm no longer in charge of day-to-day affairs.

I bring my experience, creativity and strong analyses to our clients—in addition to a well-filled suitcase, because I often work abroad. My passport is quite full by now, bearing stamps from Dubai, India and Aruba.

I am Robert Bartels, Consultant at Motion5.

After my education in marketing management at the University of Tilburg, I got to work as account manager. I made the conscious decision to work in a sales position in a very competitive industry, so I could put my passion for winning new clients to good use. After a few years of concrete sales experience I made the step towards Motion5. Now I help companies select and strengthen ties with new strategic clients.

I want to convince organizations and salespeople that strengthening the ties with new clients is not scary or impossible; it should be fun and successful instead. This change in mindset is my ultimate goal!
What is my main characteristic? Always bringing out the best in myself and those around me. Not just at Motion5 and with client projects, but on my own time too, on my racing bicycle. Every sprint, climb and turn taken has to be more explosive, faster and better.

My name is Sarah Post, working as a consultant and project manager at Motion5 where I fully can express my passion for sales.

The common thread in my career is Sales, especially in highly dynamic, high-end hospitality. In the recent years as a director sales & marketing. A position in which I was part of a demanding network of partners, customers & suppliers with ultimate responsibility for proactive and reactive sales teams. In my work I have had a lot of focus on training and coaching my (often young) teams. I was also involved in the implementation of a CRM system within one of my hotels.

I have learned to raise quality and service to art, and to focus on the customer experience at all times. Speaking of art, I am a lover of art and especially painting art and have a special interest in historically relevant events that explain why we make choices today. That is why I have followed a number of courses in art and art history.

What I bring to projects is a lot of dynamism, fresh ideas and solid project experience. I know how important it is to be and to stay relevant. And I like to walk the extra mile for that.

I have a business administration background and have worked for years at the interface of marketing & sales in complex B2B organizations. From startups to the introduction of new products and services at existing companies.

The success of growth lies mainly in the organization of communication, not only at the board level but also throughout the organization. Aligning the joint objectives, clarifying responsibilities, making agreements about cooperation; it receives relatively little attention but is crucial to properly align the gears.

These facets are magnified even more when a company finds itself in a crisis situation. Switch quickly, make the right decisions to limit the damage as much as possible. I like the challenge of analyzing the complexity of all psychological, organizational and communication processes and translating them into logical and clear next steps.

Whether it's improving commercial performance or guiding companies through crisis situations, I am driven to help others take the right steps. I do this by looking closely at what is needed, identifying needs and bottlenecks, connecting people and communicating clearly.

In my spare time I like to train with my dog ​​to find missing persons and animals and I like to cook Italian for family and friends.

I am Jessica Both, junior consultant at Motion 5. I start my career at Motion5 after having finished my studies in Communication and having worked on a project basis for a year. It’s now time for something different.

After such a broad study where you learn a lot, but just not well enough, it’s time to deepen my knowledge and I am glad that I can do that at Motion5 and that I get the chance to show what I can do. I really enjoy putting everything I have learned into practice, writing communication plans, marketing and thinking about the branding of our clients.

I am a perfectionist, I like a challenge and I can adapt well to the environment, not only in my work but also in my own time when I was doing a lot of kickboxing. You have to be able to react well to what your opponent does, but also be able to come up with unexpected moves in order to win in the end.

I’m Jeroen Rademakers, Sales Consultant at Motion5

I started my career as a logistics team leader for a company that specializes in audiovisual solutions for the professional market. In this role I discovered that is my passion to help people and organizations, and to realize improvements. After several years I moved into sales, where I worked in both inside as well as outside sales roles for companies in the transports & logistics industry.

As a sales consultant at Motion5 I am dedicated to our new customers. Together we discover where the commercial challenges lie in their organization to eventually unlock their full, commercial potential. I am convinced that with Motion5’s solutions and experience, there is no challenge we cannot overcome.

People often define me as energetic and a real team player who likes to take the lead. This is particularly apparent for me when I play tennis in my spare time, in which, just like in sales, I am always looking for the best performance connected to results, "If you don’t score you can’t win so let’s ace it!"

I'm Jacqueline van Woudenberg, Head of the financial administration at Motion5. That means that I mostly deal with our invoices, and enter them into our bookkeeping system. And that is important, because it keeps our company healthy.

We have a beautiful office in Mijdrecht, where we receive clients and organize many trainings. The building should look beautiful and neat, so people enjoy working there and enjoy coming back quickly, and I'm proud to say I also attend to this.
I also enjoy creating a pleasant atmosphere outside of Motion5. Like for instance in Curaçao, or when I play tennis with my friends, and then go for a bite to eat—and some wine.

My name is Bas Belder and I recently retired after 34 years of service with P&O Ferrymasters. During this period, I fulfilled a number of roles and was the Finance Director for 7 years and the Managing Director for 13 years. I have a financial background and hold professional qualifications in both general business and accounting.

Motion5 played an instrumental part during this process. Their open views, tools and pragmatic approach helped me to successfully change the company. Motion5’s role included, beside the commercial process, also the change management and structural change process.

I am really looking forward using my expertise and the dedicated Motion5 staff to help other organisations to achieve similar successes.

I am Renaat Vermeulen, Associate Consultant for Motion5.

Motion5 and I came into contact during my period as President of Biomet EMEA, a big international player in the medical device industry. Within Biomet I held various functions in sales, marketing and international management positions. For a long time, I was also on the board of directors of Eucomed, the medical device trade association.

I now use those 29 years of experience in the orthopedic industry when managing complex change programs at a senior level. I do this as an independent consultant, but in close collaboration with Motion5.

Just like in our previous collaboration at Biomet, we do this with the same vision in mind and with a great deal of passion for the content of our field. That is why we constantly strive to improve sales, change & leadership programs, and Leadership Unplugged is a great example of that!

I am a Principal Consultant and also a Strategic Partner of Motion5.
I am a tenured sales executive with 20 years of experience in European sales organizations for top IT companies.

During my career, I had the opportunity to manage teams of 3 to 50 people, influencing between 50 and 100 extended sales teams, either directly or in virtual team. That taught me several important guidelines which are directly applicable to the Motion5 Commercial Excellence approach!

If I am passionate about Commercial Excellence, managing people remotely and mastering the whole sales cycle; I am also passionate about sailing, rugby and fitness. During the good season, you will probably find me steering a boat somewhere in the Netherlands

My name is Karen Howard. As an associate consultant at Motion5, I am committed to building international, strategic network in Healthcare.
