Summary
Tim Steenvoorden is an experienced HR leader and change manager with 14+ years in senior HR and executive roles across Europe, leading complex restructurings, SAP-driven transformations, and legal/industrial-relations work for multinational firms. He combines strategic HR design with hands-on implementation—setting up HR functions, employment contracts across countries, absence and self-service systems, and scaling HR during rapid growth. Trusted by management and employee representatives alike, he coaches teams, navigates collective bargaining and pension transitions, and delivers pragmatic, timely results in heavily matrixed organizations. His background in law (LL.M.) and frequent responsibility for local legal accountability give him an uncommon depth in HR-related legal, privacy, and compliance matters. Comfortable in interim and project roles, he has repeatedly translated global programs into local execution across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, UK, Austria, Italy and Russia. An unusual combination of managing-director experience and hands-on HR operations enables him to bridge board-level strategy and shop-floor implementation.
