Anderson MacGyver is a management consulting firm with its roots in the Netherlands. The company was founded in 2013 by Gerard Wijers and Rik Bijmholt. Our core purpose is, and has always been, to help our clients to harness yet unrealized business value by leveraging the powerful potential of technology and data. We are currently around 70 consultants in the Netherlands, the Nordics and Germany.
We have an IP-based culture, we are authentic individuals and, we are passionate about our profession. This ensures strong client bonds, advisory with impact, sustainable results, and meaningful change.
Why did you expand to Scandinavia and why Sweden especially? What are your long-term plans for Sweden?
Well, the founders had, prior to Anderson MacGyver, done business in Sweden and from the beginning had their minds set on entering this market. As I’m sure you know, there are also quite some similarities between the Netherlands and Sweden, even if we sometimes also are struggling with some differences (...not to forget the Swedish decision-making process.) I’m the Nordics Director and I came into the picture when I was recruited to launch the brand in the Nordics 5 years ago. Internationalization is one of our success strategies and over the coming years we are aiming to grow within our three markets, and also most probably grow into one or two new European markets.
Do you have a personal connection to the Netherlands?
Initially not, but I now I have. As Country Direction and part of the European Leadership team I collaborate intensively with the other leadership team members together with other colleagues on weekly basis. We do cross-border projects, we have many knowledge sharing online sessions, and we meet physically for training & teambuilding, quarterly days, leadership off-site meetings and Christmas dinners. Over the last five years I’ve probably been to the Netherlands around 40 times.
What can our members expect from you?
If you or your organisation wants support on your digital journey you should reach out. We support our clients to find solutions to their biggest “pains” as well as achieving the desired “gains”. We do this within the following areas:
Strategy
Multimodal organization (Design, sizing & implementation of Business-Technology organizations)
Technology & Partners (Design & implementation of future proof Technology & Data landscapes)
Data 2 Value (Data vision & strategy, Data foundation and Value realisation)
On March 11, 2025 we’ll be hosting a corporate lunch on the topic Becoming a Digital Enterprise. I hope to be able to share some insights, have interesting conversations and to get to know more members of the Dutch Chamber then.
