Tony de Bree’s Summary

Born in a SME-environment, I earned my own a living early on to pay my studies (history & economics). By cleaning toilets and then designing & building e-learning/knowledge-driven modules at RU Leiden (1976).

I was headhunted by AMRO (1985) to implement e-learning in at a large scale (10.000+ employees) & to head a big reemployement project to retrain people from the branchoffices to become IT-professional.

I have held many different jobs within the global AA Group in all BUs. Examples:

- Merger teams with Generale Bank
- Merger of ABN and AMRO HR/Training & development units
- Setting up new eLearning unit for new ABN AMRO bank
- Integrating Global Securities Services with MeesPierson
- Setting up and implementing "work-at-home" projects
- Business and IT alignment across the Group
- PM European eCommerce Projects
- Global change manager ABN AMRO Trust/eTrust including knowledge based lite-tools
- Global Separation manager AA/RBS

With a holistic approach, Web 2.0 and with a positive people-focus: co-creating value in networks of people.

In 1997, I finished my EEP MBA on the future of investment banking and the proven advantage of international alliances over traditional M&A: "collaboration" instead of "ownership".

In that year I also started my part-time freelance-activities.

In 2001 I wrote a book (PHD) on the dark future of large banks like ING, ABN AMRO & other universal banks & positive sustainable alternatives with value creation in networks.

My core competence is working together with people to implement responsive "organisations" with a creative, problem-solving attitude. And focus on earning money & reducing costs in innovative, entrepreneurial ways using Web 2.0, social media & BPM.

I want to lead a balanced, positive life with my wife, kids, friends & partners across the world to achieve measurable & and meaningfull results in an entrepreneurial environment. And to keep on learning and having fun.

Tony de Bree’s Specialties:

Holistic change management, interactive (learning) environments, program management, value creation in (virtual) networks, radical innovation, problem solving, cross-cultural negotiating and contracting, outsourcing, split-ups (including "creative destruction"), mergers & acquistions, integrated risk management projects, public speaking, Social Media, BPM, workshops, off-sites, freelance writing. All with an entrepreneurial attitude "as if it was my own money".
