Eugenie van Leusen

Leadership grounded in people and context
As a partner at Maes & Lunau, she focuses on the selection of executives, supervisory board members and non‑executive directors. She works primarily with organisations in healthcare and in secondary and higher (vocational) education, sectors in which she has built an extensive network.
Selection processes in the public domain require care and broad support. Eugenie quickly sees where a process may stall and maintains strong connection with all stakeholders. By listening closely and communicating clearly at every step, she brings together professionalism, strategy and leadership

“Leaders who care for both the task and the people move organisations forward and form the foundation for high‑quality care and education.”

Diversity, potential and meaningful dialogue
Eugenie is driven by the ambition to contribute to strong education and healthcare by identifying the right leaders for social organisations operating in a rapidly evolving environment. She believes in the power of diverse teams and pays close attention to gender, cultural and generational diversity in her work. Her membership of SER Topvrouwen aligns naturally with this commitment.
Eugenie’s perspective fits seamlessly with that of Maes & Lunau. She looks beyond the CV and considers personality and motivation just as important as past experience, especially in a context of change. With the right support within an organisation, a candidate’s potential can develop fully. The meaningful conversations she has with her clients about this give her energy.
