- About Gerrien -
"Gerrien vitalizes people and brings calm and direction to organizations in change."
The videos at the top of the web pages have one thing in common and that is panta chorei, or “everything moves”. Coming in motion involves a clear goal, a purpose, with a certain origin and destination – from beginning to end.
For Gerrien, her purpose is linked to a vocation: meaningful work, lifelong learning and broad welfare for everyone. She is a non-executive director and major shareholder (DGA), with 25+ years in leading delivery of large-scale transformations with multicultural teams in global complex organisations. Her career started as a trainee at Rabobank, and global director Program & Change Management and expat in the US/UK at KPMG. She then worked as an associate director at EY’s head office in Rotterdam.
As an executive (a.i.) and advisory she gives substance to the cause of meaningful work for everyone, with a trackrecord in the field of business operations, change management, HR. organisational development, digital transformation, leadership and culture. Developing people and organizations cohesively to add value is her strength, at financial and corporate clients as ING, ABN Amro, Rabobank, JDE Douwe Egberts, T-Mobile, CGI, and UvA. As a result, she helps C-suite clients realising their growth ambitions and reimagining their position instead of focusing on perfecting and digitising what they already do.
Lifelong development is the theme that Gerrien focuses on as chairman of the Innovation & Digitalization Committee and member of the Remuneration Committee of the Non-Executive Board (RvC) Examenkamer, which independently guarantees the quality of exams and examinations for private sector education. She is also chair of the audit committee of the Supervisory Board and chair of the School Fund of Marnix College. In addition, Gerrien is a member of the PE committee of Erasmus Governance Institute (EGI), Erasmus University. Gerrien specializes in organizational development, HR, legal and governance.
As a thought leader, Gerrien addresses the cause of broad welfare for everyone and discusses current trends in organizations and society. She speaks about themes such as leadership, organizational culture, digital transformation, trends in the labor market and the future of work. Diversity & inclusion and equal pay are also part of her repertoire. In a business context she provides customized business solutions, and development through design thinking workshops, leadership and team building.
Gerrien has earned her BSc. Human Resources at Hogeschool Utrecht and graduated with a MSc. in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, specializing in Management & Organisations, at Utrecht University. She completed the post academic courses legal mediaton and ADR at the University of Amsterdam and the Program for Experienced Non-Executive Directors at Erasmus University.
- ABOUT GA ERVOOR! -
Making organizations more beautiful
This involves contributing to the challenges that organizations and leadership face in the coming years, such as the transition to a different business model, customer experience or way of working involving digital technologies. An adapted organizational culture, agile structure and operating model and HR strategy are required for this. Growth themes such as mobility, long-term value creation and decisiveness are central. Interim management, (HR) policy development and workshops contribute to translating the themes into applicable solutions.
Moving people forward
This is about making the potential of people visible, and deploying them in a way that contributes to their development, and making organizations more sustainable from a value chain perspective. The organization puts the customer and employee 100% central throughout the customer and employee journey and is connected to a valuable network. We have the knowledge, expertise, and experience in order to make sustainable growth possible for our clients, with a systematic organizational development and leadership development approach.

GA ERVOOR's expertises
HR Strategy & Advisory
More than other investments
the investment in people and a high performance culture is high yield.
Retain & Engage
Aligning HR strategy with impact with the future of work and the strategic perspective of the organization ensures long-term value creation and distinctiveness.
Organizational Development
Sometimes the entire management needs to make a move, from team leader to the top. Most organizations can’t do it alone.
Organize & Perform
Digital Transformation 2.0 works on transformation and sustainable employability. Capitalizing on strengths rather than investing in hard-to-develop weaknesses.
Leadership Coaching & Mediation
The role of leadership is too important to leave its development to chance.
Motivate & Inspire
Strengthening leadership and building high performance teams provides direction and calm in a changing environment. The organization's power to change is thus strengthened.
Governance & Board Advisory
Value-based oversight provides a professional and diverse interplay in board dynamics and governance.
Diversity & Expertise
From 'command and control' to 'inspiration and monitoring'. Vision development on creating long-term value for customers, employees and stakeholders is the basis for this.
