I worked with him for 5 years, through the building of the team from the ground up and the Covid period, in which Bert's leadership of the skin cleansing category for Europe was absolutely critical to Unilever's response. Bert is an inspirational leader. He has demonstrated this through many, many avenues. Calling out a few that have impacted me the most: Influencing beyond the scope of his role Decision making and pragmatism Willingness to back subordinates and provide opportunities for exposure while also safety. Very high but fair standards for performance which he exemplifies and so instils in his team. His standout trait is his ability to forge a team and lead it through troubling times. He is an investor in people and a great coach. Bert has continued to offer me valuable advice even after his time in Unilever ended, which speaks volumes of the personal connection he generates with his team and desire to see them succeed. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bert as a boss, a coach, a colleague, and an example what leadership looks like. ."
