From idea and strategy to team, structure, operations and customer experience.
Floris Beukers — entrepreneur and operations leader
From vision to reality
Entrepreneur and operations leader with twenty years of experience in building, leading and transforming customer-focused organisations. Founder of Luumilo.
From vision to reality
My strength lies where ideas have to land in people, structure and execution. I build organisations and teams, bring direction to complexity and connect commercial drive to human attention.
Leading growth
Guiding organisations and people through growth, change and professionalisation.
Opening new markets

Why organisations look for me

Recommendations
What clients and partners say
“Professional, clear in communication and genuinely focused on building the product well. Even when things get difficult, he stays focused, open to feedback and makes sure the project keeps moving. I enjoy working with him and recommend him for any leadership or interim management role.”
“Floris turns ideas into action, brings structure and professionalises organisations without losing sight of the end goal. Even when things go against him, he keeps looking for solutions and gets people on board.”
“As a manager, Floris combines calm, decisiveness and genuine involvement in a natural way. He is sharp in finding solutions and is at his best in complex situations: he analyses, considers different perspectives and does not avoid difficult issues. His people-oriented leadership appeals to me: he invests in himself and in his team. Behind his calm presence is someone who is clear, decisive and approachable. Someone you can build on.”
