The videos at the top of our pages share a common theme: “panta chorei” – everything flows. Movement implies purpose, with a clear origin and destination. This philosophy mirrors transformation itself – understanding why change is necessary and envisioning a better future.

For Gerrien, purpose is intrinsically linked to her calling: creating impact by transforming complex challenges into practical solutions. As a Commissioner and CEO, she brings over 25 years of experience leading large-scale transformations with multicultural teams in complex global organizations. Through her roles as interim executive and advisor, Gerrien creates meaningful work environments, leveraging her expertise in operations, HR, change management, leadership, and digital transformation.

She enables C-suite clients in the corporate and financial sectors to realize their growth ambitions by reimagining their position and future, rather than merely perfecting and digitizing existing processes. Gerrien’s strength lies in developing people and organizations simultaneously and in harmony to create lasting value. Through her company GA ERVOOR, she serves prestigious clients including ABN Amro, Rabobank, ING Bank, APG, JDE Douwe Egberts, T-Mobile, CGI, and University of Amsterdam.

Her experience as a supervisory in various social institutions has cultivated a keen sense of social responsibility. She chairs the Innovation & Digitalization Committee and serves on the Remuneration Committee of the Examenkamer’s Supervisory Board, which independently oversees examination quality in the private sector. Additionally, she chairs the Audit Committee and School Fund at Marnix College. Gerrien also contributes as a member of the PE Committee at the Erasmus Governance Institute, Erasmus University, and the Members’ Council of VVAO, an association for women with higher education. Her specializations include organizational development, remuneration and HR, legal matters, and governance.

As a thought leader, Gerrien addresses contemporary organizational and societal developments, including digital transformation, labor market trends, and the future of work. Her expertise extends to leadership, organizational culture, diversity, and equal pay. Her thought leadership is reinforced through publications in professional journals, Financial Times NL, and NRC. In international business contexts, she provides customized solutions in leadership development, organizational development, team building, and assessments.

Gerrien holds a BSc in Personnel & Organization and graduated in General Social Sciences, specializing in Management and Policy Issues from Utrecht University. She completed her post-doctoral education as a legal mediator and ADR specialist at the University of Amsterdam and finished the Program for experienced Non-executive Board Members at Erasmus University.
