Ruud Veltenaar, philosopher, top international speaker, best-selling author

Ruud Veltenaar is a philosopher, top international speaker, best-selling author and a faculty member at Nyenrode, where he is part of the Strategic Leadership Program, the Advanced Management Program and the ESG innovation Institute. He was also an Executive Member and Chairman of the Global Ethics Charter at Beyond Bretton Woods (an international think tank dedicated to designing a sustainable economic system that works for everyone, rather than the other way around).  

Ruud has a background leading companies on almost every continent, from small to large and sometimes publicly traded. Furthermore, he has an impressive track record as a serial entrepreneur and impact investor. Among other things, he was (co) founder of Planet Internet (first Internet provider in Europe) and Parkmobile (world leader Parking App). 

As an inspirer of transformation, Ruud provides clarity about the future and offers hope for a better world. Because let's face it, if we look outside, our world looks pretty restless. What else is coming our way and how can we connect with the upcoming, or even better, unleashed future? Where are the opportunities that we do not see now, nor take advantage of?
