PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear friends of INSEAD,
The Annual Dinner of the Netherlands INSEAD Alumni was held on October 25th
at the headquarters of Unilever in Rotterdam at the invitation of Unilever’s CEO
Paul Polman. Both Polman and INSEAD Dean Dipak Jain treated us to terrific
speeches about a higher morale.
William Hesketh Lever, founder of Lever
Brothers had an inspiring mission: I believe
that nothing can be greater than a business,
however small it may be, that is governed by
conscience; and that nothing can be meaner
or more petty than a business, however large,
governed without honesty and without
brotherhood.”. Polman is focussing Unilever’s
strategy to fit this mission perfectly.
Polman states that research shows that we
will need 50% more energy, 30% more water
and 50% more food by 2030, which will lead
to shortages if we don’t react. For this reason,
Unilever has started its Sustainable Living
Plan to help 1 billion people improve their
health
and
well-being,
to
halve
the
environmental footprint of its products and to
source 100% of agricultural raw materials
sustainably. The momentum is there as
consumers increasingly want ethically sourced
products, sustainable brands are increasingly
popular and retailers have their own
sustainability goals. Unilever is especially
suited to lead this ethical surge as it can
really profit from it: As more people are
educated and less people live in poverty,
more people start using Unilever products
DUTCH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
such as soap (for washing
hands and clothes).
It is inspiring and comforting to hear that
powerful people and institutions are really
trying to make a difference!
Dean Jain is leading his own ethical revolution
in education. INSEAD is migrating from being
the business school for the world, to being
the business school for a better world.
Business schools have received
strong
criticism in the last few years as having been
delivering superficial and money-focussed
MBA’s in the last decades. Dean Jain is
responding by changing the curriculum, the
management of the school and faculty, and
the admissions. This is a difficult proposition
as diversity and ethics are not featuring in the
worldwide MBA rankings which are important
for new MBA candidates. The school is still
working on finding the ideal strategy to
attract the best students and deliver them not
only as smart MBA’s but as good people, who
will have a real impact on creating a better
world.
Isn’t it great to be part of all that?
Olivier

REVIEW
Sustainability Club: Dilemmas of Shell in Nigeria
Dick Benschop, CEO Shell Nederland, and Mutiu Sunmonu, MD/Country Chairman, Shell
companies in Nigeria, discussed the dilemmas of Shell in Nigeria in an open dialogue with the
INSEAD Alumni on September 8th in a lively event at Shell in The Hague. Jean-Pierre Sweerts
reports.
Dick Benschop and Mutiu
Sunmonu presented the
business,
operations,
corporate
governance
and challenges of Shell in
Nigeria. The dilemmas of
Shell in Nigeria were
clearly described. During
diner we discussed the
challenges
in
small
groups and after dinner in a plenary session,
in dialogue with Dick Benschop and Mutiu
Sunmonu.
During the evening the
discussions became more
and more open and the
Alumni
made
several
recommendations to Shell.
Chatham House Rules apply
about the content of the
discussions
and
the
recommendations. Although
Shell
must
have
heard
before
all
recommendations possible, the alignment
among the INSEAD Alumni about these
recommendations
and
the
discussions
provided a clear direction. On its turn, the
openness of Mutio Sunmonu and Dick
Benschop and their colleagues was much
appreciated by the INSEAD Alumni.
The dialogue set-up of the meeting was the
third one, after ENECO and Odenwald Organic
& Albron, in a series of events of the INSEAD
Sustainability Club focusing on using the
INSEAD
Alumni
experience
for
recommendation to the executive boards of
companies as well as for getting insights by
the Alumni about challenges that many of us
face in our work. The next one will be in
spring 2012.
ANNOUNCEMENT

REVIEW
Meet the Company: Equens
On Tuesday 27th of September we had the opportunity to see the hart of all Pin transactions in the
Netherlands at Equens (the former Interpay) in Utrecht. Our own alumnus, Götz Möller
(MBA ‘98D) is board member of Equens since the incorporation in 2006. Charles Kotting reports.
The company is the European market leader
in handling payment and card transactions
with 12.5% market share.
The main
operations are in the Netherlands and
Germany and it also has operations in Italy,
Finland and the UK. The numbers are
staggering:
• Processing
9.7
billion
payment
transactions annually
• Processing 3.9 billion card transactions
annually
• Processing almost 15 trillion EUR in 2010
(> GDP of Europe)
The visit was started with a drink and then we
went up to “the bridge”, the main control
center of the all Dutch Pin and Card
transactions. All seemed in control and we
were happy to see that the Dutch are already
for 80% switched to “het nieuwe pinnen”.
Then with some snacks Götz introduced us
into the world of payments: providing
consistent plannable profitable increasing
riskless profits – sound good doesn’t it?
Unfortunately all our account numbers may
soon change due to some European SEPA rule
– but this will be provide cheaper crossborder transactions and many opportunities
for Equens.
The evening was closed with some further
discussions and drinks. Thanks to Equens and
especially Götz for a very pleasant and
interesting evening.
REVIEW – SIN GOLF
This year the annual SIN golf tournament took place on the Goyer golfclub in
Eemnes. Fifteen alumni had correctly foreseen that just on this day the
summer of 2011 would take place, and enjoyed a great day of golf plus an
excellent borrel + diner afterwards. The wine was kindly offered by SIN, as is the custom since
SIN's investment years ago in 'Stargreen', an organizer of golf tours in France. The organizing
committee had devised a nice scoring system for both teams and individual players, in which Joop
Heijenrath deservedly (though somewhat surprisingly) ended as the overall winner. To the great
enthusiasm of all, since this means that next year's tournament will take place at De Pan!

Annual Dinner at Unilever
On October 25th the IAA Annual Dinner was held in Rotterdam, hosted by Unilever. It was an event
in the true spirit of INSEAD: food for thought in ground breaking speeches in the stimulating
company of a strong network of over 160 INSEAD alumni and excellent food. Willem Brandt
reports. Photographs by Victor van Leeuwen www.e-mage.nl
We have heard the revolutionary thoughts of
Unilever’s CEO Mr. Paul Polman, who is
changing the structure, strategy and culture
at Unilever, not only to regain market share
and build growth, but also to increase
Unilever’s impact on making the world a
better place.
school for a better world, showing that MBA
institutions can indeed have a very positive
impact on our world. In order to make this
vision reality the curriculum will need to
change and also increased focus will be given
to create the right mix of different
backgrounds, in gender and nationality.
He passionately explained how the Unilever
Sustainable Living Plan is helping the
company achieve its vision of doubling the
business whilst halving the environmental
footprint of its products; and he held a
rallying cry for all of us to join the sustainable
movement in business. The alumni engaged
strongly in the subsequent Q&A sessions to
exchange views in this area.
A tangible element in the strive for more
impact is the installation of post-MBA
scholarships. These scholarships will be
awarded by the dean to MBA graduates that
want to dedicate a significant period after
INSEAD to a good cause.
Dean Dipak Jain shared in his speech his
thoughts about making INSEAD the business
In summary it has been a great Annual
Dinner which will surely will be remember by
those who attended.
Post Script from the fundraising team:
In the Benelux, we have decided to join forces to create the funds to enable dean Jain to appoint
MBA graduates that will receive these scholarships.
We want to ask you to participate in this Benelux post MBA scholarship. We strive to create a fund
that will enable the scholarship for the next 10 years.
As always, the Dutch fiscal system will support our aim if and when the donation is organized in
the form of a pledge of at least 5 years. Please contact us to arrange that for you.
We will reach out to all of you individually by letter, e-mail or in person to ask for your support, or
even better, if you want to pre-empt that: donate to our Rabobank account for the INSEAD Alumni
Fund at account number 39 43 11 124 and mention Benelux post-MBA Scholarship Fund.
We sincerely hope that you will join our goal to help to build INSEAD as the business school for a
better world.

The great venue, service and excellent
food&beverage, allowed us to spend some
quality time together, and start brainstorming

REVIEW
The Alumni Volunteer Weekend in Lisbon, Portugal
From October 14 to 16, the National Alumni Association of Portugal hosted the Alumni Volunteer
Meeting. This is a meeting between the President of the INSEAD Alumni, Sven Kado and the Alumni
Executive Committee, the Presidents of all the Alumni Associations, the head of the IAF and the IAF
trustees. Olivier Gorter reports.
For our Association, Olivier and Joop were
present to exchange best practices and work
on strengthening the ties between the alumni
worldwide. Other Dutch representatives were
Bart Blommers (IAA treasurer), Roland
Stapper (IAA head of clubs - member of UK
NAA) and Paul Huysmans (IAF trustee UK).
As always, the programme was a mix
between work and fun. We arrived on Friday
afternoon for drinks and dinner hosted by the
president
of
the
Portuguese
Alumni
Association Joaquin Paiva Chaves.
On Saturday we had an early start with best
practices workshops, while the IAF had their
internal meeting. After lunch a bus took us to
Lisbon and a guide gave us a tour through
this beautiful city. On Saturday evening there
was a grand dinner at the Cascais Naval club
where a number of Portuguese alumni were
also invited.
Sunday started with more workshops and
general info sessions, followed by the Alumni
general assembly, which is held to approve
the budget, vote on spending (e.g. priorities
for Connect) and get more info from the
school about its strategy and current status.
After Lunch, most participants returned
home. As this was the first weekend of the
Dutch Autumn holiday, we stayed for a few
days in the hotel in Cascais with a few of the
other families of Alumni representatives.
We also repeated
our top position in
relative
participation in the
IAF. Good to see
that the Dutch are
not cheap and that
we understand that
scholarships
for
people from poorer
countries
are
necessary to be the
business school for
the
world.
Well
done to all of us!
Best practices sessions yielded quite a few
good ideas on large (multi-day)events and
showed that some countries/associations can
do a turnaround in one year: Under new
leadership, Brazil - which association was a
financial mess- went from 12 to 120
members, introduced direct debits and copied
six different best practices from other
countries - well done!
All in all it is great to go to these weekends
and get back into a room or an amphi with
this group of people from 60 countries.
Especially during the General Assembly, as all
sorts of politics and ego come into play (e.g.
on voting and on representation), it is great
to see the strength, the versatility and the
diversity of the INSEAD alumni!
Our NAA was awarded 2 bottles of
champagne by the IAA executive committee,
for the highest number of new members in
2010 and for the highest percentage of EDP
membership worldwide.

REVIEW
INSEAD Alumni Healthcare Summit
The 3rd annual INSEAD Alumni Healthcare Summit was held on October 6 and 7 in Berlin, offering
an action packed two-day program themed around Incumbents vs. Insurgents. Annemarie van
Neck reports.
(founded 15 years ago) and its plans going
forward.
INSEAD has long had a strong presence in
the healthcare industry. INSEAD’s alumni are
active in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology,
diagnostics, medical devices and healthcare
services as well as healthcare-focused
consulting, banking and private equity. They
work on six continents and include the CEOs
of more than 50 healthcare companies. The
INSEAD
Healthcare
Alumni
Network
represents the interests of the approximately
2,000 alumni working in the healthcare
industry and associated fields, with a mission
to encourage networking and discussion on
healthcare
topics
across
geographic
boundaries and industry subsectors.
It works closely with national healthcare
alumni groups in several countries as well as
INSEAD's
own
Healthcare
Management
Initiative. In addition to encouraging and
supporting national groups, the network
organizes an annual international conference,
the INSEAD Healthcare Alumni Summit.
The Annual Summit is an excellent occasion
to learn about the latest healthcare
developments, and a great way to catch up
with old friends, and meet new useful
contacts.
The speakers included both alumni and nonalumni senior executives, from a wide range
of healthcare companies, ranging from large
pharma to small start-ups. Also, Professor
Stephen Chick gave an update on the
School’s Healthcare Management Initiative
The Dutch alumni were well represented
again this year and also participated in the
organization of the Summit: Robert van
Schagen (IEP'02Dec) and Tom Fransen
(YMP'06Sep) organized and hosted one of the
break-out workshops themed around LEAN in
Healthcare.
Thank you to Chandra P. Leo (MBA ‘02D) and
his team for a flawlessly organized, inspiring
event.

UPDATE INNED
INNED organization
We are pleased to announce that Hendrik Jan Laseur, Jeroen de Kempenaer and Guus Overdijkink
have joined the INNED management team. These also to replace Peter Idenburg and Maurits de
Brauw, who will remain active “advisors “of INNED. We owe enormous thanks to Peter Idenburg,
who founded and shaped the INNED academy and to Maurits de Brauw, who initiated INNED
presence among the non-profit sectors in Healthcare and “Woning Corporaties”.
INNED Advisory board:
With great relief we can report that Matty Vanderbroeck (INNED founding father) is recovering well
from a serious illness for which he had to have a number of operations over the summer. He still
has to have some further treatment, but last time I met him he was already very much “alive and
kicking” and full of ideas for INNED and INSEAD, sipping wine in the process!
INNED Events
Save the Date for the IN-NED Event on December 7th in Amsterdam (starting 16.00 in
Café Dauphine, Amsterdam): Over 100 participants of whom some 70% hold supervisory
positions. Time to have another great IN-NED event! Three items on the agenda: to catch up on
IN-NED developments, to sink your teeth into real life non-executive challenges, and to debate
what makes IN-NED different and better than other non-executive initiatives.
And from 19.00 hrs onwards we leave you ample time to enjoy drinks and a dinner in Dauphine’s
special ambiance.
INNED is assisting BDO accountants and tax advisors for a seminar on November 22nd on the
role of non-executives at family owned companies. Selected INNED Academy graduates, with
relevant experience have been invited for this event.
INNED Academy goes international!
We are very proud that already the 4th wave of INSEAD alumni will be participating in the INNED
Academy, which will kick-off on November 25-27th with the module at INSEAD in Fontainebleau,
under the expert guidance of “our” Professors Erik van de Loo and Jaap Winter. Peter Idenburg will
also be on hand as one of the coaches during these highly stimulating sessions! This will also be
the first time that INSEAD alumni from Germany will be participating in this module, which is part
of the newly initiated German IAA Non-executive initiative.
INNED in the press
Thanks to the initiative of Paul Broersen INNED got 2 full pages press coverage in the Financieele
Dagblad early September, which triggered some interesting responses. Of course we felt only half
the story was really covered it putting INNED on the map in Holland, judged by the many
responses we received.
INNED website:
Both Paul’s (Diercks and Broersen) spent quite some efforts on updating our website, so please
take a look at http://iaa.insead.edu/IAA/NLD/clubs/Inned/Pages/Homepage.aspx
INNED new initiative?
Some may know that Ron Soonieus (Camunico) is doing some groundbreaking work on helping
organizations active in Art & Culture on governance issues and we are discussing how INNED could
be of help in this respect. Anyone with special interest or related experience, please contact us

INSEAD ALUMNI FUND
Educate; innovate; renovate! Join us for The Great INSEAD Seat Sale!
Reserve your place; preserve our place and your legacy.
We are almost at the end of the current fiscal year. This is the time that people consider
to give to their favorite charitable organizations. Please consider INSEAD this year. The
school needs your support and has defined a campaign that combines the best of three
worlds : upgrade of the school’s facilities, add additional scholarships and provide
recognition for the donor at a very visible place.
Background: INSEAD introduces the Great INSEAD Seat Sale! This unique initiative improves
INSEAD facilities today while ensuring scholarship support for diverse and qualified participants in
future promotions.
All of you have spent time in flagship Amphi A on the Fontainebleau campus. Well, Amphi A is in
need of a little attention. It needs to be more current, more accessible – and we need your help to
make it so.
Alumni and friends: For a gift of €5,000, you will
not only help us to make it more physically
accessible and state-of-the-art, you will also
enable a qualified participant to access INSEAD via
scholarship support. This is because 50% of your
donation will be directed to the renovation of
Amphi A; and 50% towards INSEAD’s scholarship
programme for those in financial need.
Recognition: The seat you choose will carry a
plaque with your name and promotion on it – or
that of your company or someone you would like
to honour or memorialize. The duration of this
recognition will be until the next renovation
(minimum: a decade to fifteen years). At that
time, you will have first right of refusal to renew
your support for the seat or seats that are named
for or by you.
Double Impact: Your gift will both enable the School to upgrade this key teaching space and put a
qualified participant in that seat via your parallel contribution towards INSEAD’s scholarship
programme.
How to Purchase a Seat: Follow the link in the navigation of the page "Amphi A Interactive"
http://www.insead.edu/alumni/amphiainteractive/?pid=319382 (you will need INSEAD Connect
password) to see where your friends, classmates and all the other Dutch Alumni are sitting and
where you can buy yours and thereby preserve excellence and diversity in the process.
It would be great to have many of you join us in the Amphi A!
Thank you for considering to donate – and we look forward to seeing you, your honoree or your
company in Amphi A for years to come!

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
Govert Doedijns (CCC’02)
I recently became senior partner at Mindset8 where I joined a fellow Insead
CCC alumni Missak Vehouni. Both Missak and I have over the past 10 years
frequently drawn upon the expertise of fellow Insead CCC alumni. I am
passionate about helping CEOs and senior executives adopt broad perspectives
in leading transformations and strengthen financial performance. In my
freetime, I have built a reputation as an excellent cook and host to my diverse
circle of friends.
Godart van Gendt (MBA’11J)
Godart graduated from INSEAD in June 2010, spending his full year on the
Singapore campus. After graduation, he opened a distribution office in Singapore
for small-scale desalination equipment. At the beginning of October, he rejoined
McKinsey & Company in Amsterdam as Associate. Godart has a background in
physics, and has a passion for the energy industry, politics and hiking.
Elton Habits (TGM’11)
Elton, Sales Director at Wegener JobTrack - my colleagues would describe me as
an ‘inspiring, highly driven, dedicated and customer focused Sales leader’. Within
Wegener’s online division I head up a team of Sales, MK and ICT specialists to
grow Wegener’s recruitment advertising business in the Netherlands. In 2011 I
attended the INSEAD Transition to General Management programme at
Fontainebleau and Singapore, which was a great opportunity to significantly
improve my in-depth understanding of the foundations of business; to better
understand myself and my role as a leader; and to meet an unique set of
individuals of other cultures, industries and backgrounds.
Jonathan Joubert (MBA’11 J)
Born and raised in Curaçao, I came to the Netherlands to study Computer Science
in Delft. After graduation I have worked for McKinsey in Amsterdam for a few
years, before going to INSEAD. My INSEAD year was, of course, an amazing
experience, including living in and travelling around 3 continents. Now I am back
at McKinsey Amsterdam as an Associate, where I hope to start focusing on the
high (and low) tech industry. My main hobby is playing soccer.
Arjan de Jong (MAP'11May)
I live in Zaandam and work for Vattenfall/Nuon in Amsterdam. Since 2009 I have been responsible
for the customer service for the largest business customers to whom we deliver electricity, gas and
wind energy. Before 2009 I worked for insurance company Achmea in different management
functions. In my free time I like to enjoy life to the fullest: sitting in the sun with delicious food and
drinks while hanging out with friends. I also try to spend a lot of time on photography and
cinematography watching movies and shooting movies myself.
My INSEAD experience has been very special. I wasn't sure what to expect but I've had an
amazing three weeks. The group, the campus, the professors, the content of the program, the
organization, everything was great! Truly a life changing experience! So now it's time to profit from
all the new things I've learned and to capitalize on the investment. When you're full of new energy
and new knowledge while the environment you work in hasn't really changed, maybe that's when
the big challenge starts!

Wouter Kneepkens (MBA’11J)
Enthusiastic internet entrepreneur with strong background in business & finance,
having worked as investment banker and in private equity. Also active as seed
investor and available as an advisor in the field of strategy, finance & funding.
Always interested to hear more or get involved in entrepreneurial plans. More on
me and my initiatives: http://www.wouterkneepkens.com.
Steven Koolen (MBA'11J)
Steven just returned to Holland after a fantastic year at INSEAD, where he focused
on getting a deeper understand of finance and entrepreneurship. More importantly
he tremendously enjoyed learning from and spending time with the people at
INSEAD. Steven returned working at McKinsey as an Associate in the Amsterdam
office.
Kees van Lede (MBA'11J)
I am 32 years old, and married to my wife Fleur. I joined a Dutch IT services firm
called GUIDION straight after graduation. I joined the company's management
team, and am the marketing & sales director responsible for our own GUIDION
brand (besides working under our own brand we also do a lot of "white label"
work for the big Dutch internet service providers such as XS4ALL, UPC and
Ziggo). My background is in consumer goods marketing, having previously worked
for 4,5 years for Unilever both in Europe and Southern Africa. My INSEAD year
was not only great fun, but really also served as the catalyst to move away from a
big multinational to a small and fast-growing entrepreneurial venture.

´Seamless Travel and Simplifying the Business´. I am 38 years old and married and father of a

Insead..). I am a windsurfer and play soccer and squash in my spare time. I hold a Master's degree
in Communications from the University of Amsterdam and started my professional career with
Schiphol Group in 1997, fulfilling several managerial positions at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

University of Twente advising on funding of biometric related R&D activities.
I followed the Advanced Management Program (AMP) in July 2011. “the AMP program and the
interaction with the teachers and fellow students provided me with new insights and –energy. I
have been given the tools to deal with tomorrow’s challenges and a network of friendship and
reflection.”
Bart Scheffer (EMBA’04D)
Graduating in 2004, I participated in the first INSEAD EMBA program. Apart from
making many new friends all across the globe, the program tremendously widened
my view of the rest of the world.
Before INSEAD I worked 10 years for optical retailer Pearle in various marketing
roles in The Netherlands and assignments in Belgium, Austria, Germany, Poland
and Italy. After INSEAD I worked for franchise retailer Alshaya
(www.alshaya.com) in the Middle East as Managing Director for its Optics division
and in Russia as Deputy Managing Director. Since leaving Russia in January 2011,
I am on sabbatical in The Netherlands. I am passionate about retail and always
open for discussions on retail, especially retail in emerging markets.
