I am Ingo Heijnen (54) and have been advising executives of large and medium-sized organizations in critical situations for decades. My experience spans crises, mergers & acquisitions, governance issues, legal proceedings, and other complex matters impacting reputation and credibility. As the former CEO of Hill & Knowlton in the Netherlands and Europe, I have led companies and developed teams with a strong focus on innovation and talent development.
In addition, I hold supervisory roles at the Young Captain Netherlands Foundation and the Young Entrepreneurs Foundation and previously served as a board member at SIRE. My connection to defense and security is both personal and professional: I grew up in a military family and served as a reserve officer in the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Throughout my career, I have frequently supported defense-related projects, including the acquisition of the F-35.
