TEAM

Motivated by a desire to actively contribute to better healthcare, Brian and Nadine founded EHdK in 2014. Their experience at other consultancy firms had convinced them that things could—and should—be done differently. Not a traditional consultancy with conventional consultants, but a hands-on team of committed, enthusiastic young professionals working every day to help clients drive progress and create momentum. That was the start of EHdK: the action-driven consultancy.

In recent years, the action-driven consultancy EHdK has grown into a thriving team of talented professionals. In 2021, Pim Candel and Jenneke Aartsen joined as co-owners, followed by Sofia Rapsaniotis and Jos Smeenge in 2024.

Talent

At EHdK, the development of young, talented professionals is a central focus. We believe that when young, capable people are given both the opportunity and the trust to apply their energy and ambition, they can make a real difference for our clients.

We offer intensive training and development programmes that promote a steep learning curve—both professionally and personally. Our partners are actively involved, sharing their knowledge and skills with the team. For our advisors, this means they can grow into experienced professionals in a short amount of time.

Culture

Our culture is defined by commitment, drive, openness, and a sense of enjoyment.

As a team, we’re here for our clients—and for each other. We support one another, celebrate our shared successes, and show up when someone needs us. We’re united by a shared passion, yet each of us brings something unique.
