Hi, I’m Niels, author of the blog Supply Chain Trend.

I started this blog when I arrived in 2009 in Australia from the Netherlands. During my career, I improved business performance as consultant, global supply chain manager and integrated business planning manager in a variety of countries, industries and companies for about 20 years.

My passion is to bring positive change and make individuals and business be themselves at their best.

I consult with global supply chain consultancy Crimson & Co and I’m on the Foresight magazine advisory board.

Since 2017, I’m also a children’s book author. With my books, I hope to make a positive difference, promote conversation and help children learn about confidence, resilience and a positive mindset. My first illustrated children’s book was; My Strong Mind.

I also enjoy coaching. I am an accredited Mental Toughness coach and author of an adult self help guide; Building Mental Toughness. I founded MentalToughness.online to provide resources and coaching to improve your mental strength.

Juggling consulting, writing and coaching is not always easy, but for sure it is lots of fun, satisfies both my left and right brain, and it is very fulfilling. Feel free to let me know what you think about my blogs, articles and children’s books.
