It is with great pleasure that we are ready to formally announce the latest addition to the Siecap executive team. Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our new Chief Operations Officer, Henry Brunekreef!
Born and raised in The Netherlands, Henry has been in logistics for his entire 25+ year career. After developing an interest in the field at an early age through chatting with a family friend, he went on to attain a Masters in Logistics from the Cranfield School of Management – from there, his career was locked in, and the passion has never waned.
Henry has held industry roles as Head of KPMG’s Australia supply chain advisory practice, RVP Supply Chain Asia Pacific Lead at Coupa, and has worked with high profile clients including Anglo American, Rolls-Royce Marine Services, Cisco, Rockwell Automation, Fortescue Metal Group, Downer Group, Origin Energy, Bluescope, BHP, Siemens, Thiess, Wesfarmers and Sydney Trains. His ability to create and lead high-performing teams through his strong interpersonal skills has led to real changes in the companies that Henry has worked with, and his singular focus on customer needs makes him a trusted advisor.
This degree of international executive experience in the Logistics industry is invaluable to the Siecap team. In particular, his key areas of expertise include:
- Supply Chain & Logistics Strategy
- Supply Chain Network Design
- Target Operating Model Design
- Integrated Business Planning
- Segmentation and Cost-to-Serve Management
Henry also brings an incredible personality onto the team. He’s welcoming, friendly, and always up for a chat – especially when there’s a problem to be solved. It’s what has made him so successful in consulting: being happy to meet new people, engaging enough to broach any topic, knowledgeable enough to give actionable advice, and pragmatic enough to know which advice will work best. He’s a true people person, and his skill at managing relationships is matched only by his problem solving.
We’re very privileged to have Henry come on board as our new COO, and we’re excited to solve your logistical problems alongside him. Another round of applause for Henry!
