Celebrating 10 years of success with Veerle Van De Vijver at Tavernier & Van De Vijver
As Veerle Van De Vijver, President of Kennedy, marks her remarkable 10-year anniversary at Tavernier & Van De Vijver, we had the privilege to sit down and talk about her journey, learnings, and memorable milestones. Join us as we uncover Veerle's reflections on a decade of leadership and excellence.
Veerle, congratulations on this significant milestone! Looking back at your 10 years at Tavernier & Van De Vijver, what are some of your biggest takes and learnings?
That’s a good question! Over the past decade so many interesting things occurred!
Some reflections:
Prior to founding T&V, I accumulated nearly two decades of experience in different businesses. This extensive tenure serves as a significant asset, enabling me to swiftly and comprehensively discern our customers' needs, understand the intricacies of company culture, and identify individuals best suited to meet those requirements. Leveraging this wealth of prior experience sets our approach apart from conventional executive search firms.
Consistently, both clients and candidates attest to the inspiring and highly personalized nature of our methodology. At T&V, we hold a genuine concern for the well-being of our candidates and clients alike, establishing ourselves as trusted advisors and reliable confidants. Our authentic modus operandi stands as a cornerstone of our ethos, underscoring its paramount importance to our organization.
A pivotal moment in our decade-long journey occurred when we moved to a unique office space, situated in close proximity to water, near the port of Ghent. Housed within a historic building, this location provides an unparalleled environment for work. However, its primary allure lies in its ability to empower our candidates to excel to their fullest potential.
That's inspiring, Veerle. Can you share any specific success stories or moments that stand out to you from your time at Tavernier & Van De Vijver?
An unequivocal milestone is undoubtedly our affiliation with Kennedy Executive Search, our international network. The exchange of expertise and experiences with top consultants worldwide is particularly enriching. This enables us to guide our clients on an international scale in sourcing the right talents. Last but not least, the warm connections with all partners undoubtedly contribute to our professional fulfillment.
It's clear that teamwork has played a pivotal role in your journey. Looking ahead, what are your aspirations and goals for the future, both personally and professionally?
Indeed, without the exceptional T&V team, it would not have been possible to successfully complete the particularly interesting high-level assignments for our clients. Our intention is to build upon the foundations we have laid thus far. We aim to foster the growth and further development of our team. Additionally, pursuing more both national and international assignments features prominently on our wishlist. On a personal note, I would be particularly delighted if, in the coming years, we could guide even more high-level clients in our authentic, professional, and successful manner.
Thank you for sharing your insights, Veerle. Your dedication and leadership are truly inspiring. Here's to another decade of success and achievement!
