“I had the pleasure of working with Thijs in preparing a panel discussion at Cornerstone's annual customer event - Spark - in June 2025. With Thijs' support and guidance, Sarens has achieved and seen excellent results in using their new talent solution which was rewarded with a Galaxy Award in 2025. After the panel discussion and Spark in general, Thijs received lots of great questions as well as very positive feedback and comments from attendees. On stage, Thijs presented Sarens' new, innovative workforce agility strategy - an ambitious upskilling and talent initiative aimed to equip all employees with the new business, digital and behavioural skills they needed to develop their career and succeed in the digital age. With his well-known persistence and focus on success, Thijs did a fantastic job on stage, prepared very well for the presentation, provided all the necessary feedback in a timely manner and presented Sarens' strategy very confidently. On top of presenting to a large audience at Spark, Thijs also excellently presented insights in an online session to a broader audience from all of EMEA. Thank you very much for your wonderful support, Thijs! It's a pleasure working with you! Great job and well done!”
