ABOUT JENS VAN BEUSEKOM

The person
behind the advisor.

BEUSEKOM Market & Advisory was founded by Jens van Beusekom to combine senior executive experience with hands-on commercial and operational expertise.

The philosophy is simple: good advice should turn decisions into action and action into measurable results.

I’ve spent more than 25 years making commercial and procurement decisions across European FMCG and retail — in negotiating rooms, executive teams and operational businesses.

Today, I bring that experience to companies and leaders facing important decisions of their own.

FROM EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO INDEPENDENT ADVISORY

My advisory work is built on more than 25 years of making commercial and procurement decisions — and being accountable for the results.

I have led teams and businesses across European markets, negotiated with some of the industry’s largest players and worked through transformations where strategy had to deliver in the real world.

That experience shapes how I advise today: pragmatic, commercially grounded and close enough to the business to understand what actually works.

As central as possible. As local as needed.

Having sat on the other side of the table changes the way you advise.

Jens knows what it means to make decisions and be accountable for the outcome. This experience shapes an advisory approach that is pragmatic, commercially grounded and focused on execution.

We know how European trade works. And how to work it.

With experience across FMCG, Retail, Commercial and Procurement, Jens understands how manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and distribution partners operate across European markets.

BEUSEKOM combines this market understanding with executive experience and a strong European network to help businesses make better decisions and accelerate profitable growth.

But leadership is also about people.

Listen to the experts. Lead with experience. Empower their decisions.

Jens believes sustainable performance starts with the people closest to the business — listening to their expertise, providing direction and empowering them to take ownership and deliver results.
