"Clarity of thought, practicality, and dedication: that’s what it’s all about for us. And we have a great time putting that into practice each and every day!"

Adding to his extensive M&A work while at OC&C, Irvin left the firm in 2005 to broaden his experience in investment banking. He re-joined OC&C as a partner early in 2007.

In addition to his M&A work across industries, Irvin currently focuses on the transportation, leisure, and media sectors.

Bram
Partner
“Solutions bigger than a drawing board”

Bram Kuijpers has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Delft University of Technology. He specialized in logistics, working as an intern for a Swedish shipping company. He liked engineering very much, but he opted for strategy consulting.

Technology has always fascinated me: from large-scale plants and machineries to the mechanics of my own car. During my internship, however, I realised I simply could not picture myself in the drawing room - For me, strategy consulting is the way to both develop and apply my analytical skills, beyond engineering.

Now, I spend my days twisting my brain, with lots of thinking and calculating, but the questions are totally different. Products, processes, cost structure: everything is turned around. The end result is bigger than would ever fit on a drawing board.

I received several offers from consulting firms. My choice for OC&C is based on the people and the atmosphere. I am learning a lot from my OC&C team members, but they see me as equal. That openness and equality decided it for me.

Elcke
Consultant
“I’ve still got a lot to learn – and at OC&C I will”

Elcke Jansen studied Technology Management at Eindhoven University, graduating in Operations Management & Logistics on research she did at Leuven University in Belgium and with ASML, a manufacturer of semiconductor production equipment.

I have to be busy, it energises me. And I’m a good planner – I know how to keep an eye on the total picture. That’s why I became enthusiastic about consulting once I’d decided to go into business. It is a dynamic and analytically challenging profession. And we work in teams of young people.

Why OC&C? For one, the quantitative approach to consulting: developing recommendations on the basis of solid analyses of hard facts. Secondly, the broad perspective we take in our work (an approach which I enjoyed as a student, too) – that is to say, we don’t look at issues in isolation but take the whole business into account.

Finally, OC&C has a super working climate. I’ve clearly got much to learn, still – and at OC&C, I will!

Thijs
Project Manager
“It’s the people and the atmosphere at OC&C that mean the most to me”

Thijs Dikkers studied Civil Engineering in Delft (MA Offshore Engineering).

After ISW I had a work placement with OC&C and they made me an offer. To be sure I’d made the right choice I did another placement with an engineering firm. But I found strategy consulting far more challenging: the projects, the atmosphere at work, and the people you work with at OC&C attracted me much more.

In my first year my projects were in a wide range of sectors, from animal feed and the wine trade to in flight catering. My most recent project was on oil storage for which I went to stay in Houston for two months. As soon as I heard that we’d taken on this particular assignment, I put myself up for it. At OC&C, if you show interest in a project you have a real chance of getting it.

Marc
Partner
“Making sure our recommendations are implemented is often our greatest challenge. Developing the strategy itself is relatively easy by comparison, even if the issues involved are highly complex.”

Marc has served clients in different industries, notably the consumer sectors (both consumer goods and retail), but also transport and financial services. He assisted clients in these industries on a full range of strategic issues such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning, new business development, pricing and assortment, and new channel strategy.

Mechiel
Partner
“Taking into account the people you are working for”

After Mechiel Wilbrink had received his degree in Applied Physics from Eindhoven University of Technology an academic career beckoned, yet in August 2002 he opted for OC&C.

As a student, I already knew that I needed more variety. When I discovered strategy consulting, my first thought was: this is exactly what I have been looking for; complex issues, just as in science, plus giving the solutions a practical translation whilst taking into account the people you are working for.

In the first years, most of my attention went to mastering the basics: analysing, interviewing, presenting. Gradually, my attention shifted to building valuable relationships with clients, in order to really begin to understand what the advice means for them.

Ever since I first came here, I have felt a match. I instantly felt I could make a difference. Together with talented, entrepreneurial and very diverse colleagues, it was an intuitive choice, which I still support wholeheartedly.
