Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAstrid Claessen is a seasoned enterprise transformation and product leadership specialist with over a decade of experience helping complex organisations become more adaptive, purpose-driven, and value-focused. As Principal Collaborator at Evolvagility and longtime instructor and mentor at Product Department, she combines hands-on coaching with strategic portfolio design to enable leaders to make better decisions and teams to deliver at scale. Her work spans regulated and public sectors—Medtronic, NFI, Rabobank, NPO and universities—where she blends systems thinking, SAFe/portfolio practices and behavioural change to embed psychological safety, transparency and distributed decision-making. She is especially skilled at translating senior leadership intent into operating models and governance that sustain empowered, cross-functional teams. An economist by training, Astrid pairs quantitative insight with a knack for facilitating collective sense-making—a subtle but powerful advantage when navigating competing stakeholder perspectives. Based in Veenendaal, she also brings an unexpected creative side, having produced endurance-sports documentaries, which reflects her ability to persist through long, complex initiatives.
