Let's connect

Energetic, decisive and socially adept
Energetic, results‑driven and socially skilled are three qualities that capture Bastiaan well. He connects quickly with people and brings ease to professional conversations. “I enjoy working hard and with clear focus,” he explains. “Alongside my master’s degree, I worked 25 hours a week in executive search. If extra effort is needed, I am always ready to step up.”

“I like looking beyond the CV. A strong placement requires understanding the full picture: personality, future goals and more.”

Looking past the CV
Bastiaan quickly realised that working with top‑tier professionals at executive level suits him well. “The professionals we speak with at Maes & Lunau have such impressive CVs that it becomes essential to look further. It’s about the individual. I find it fascinating to understand who someone really is, whether they fit the organisation, what drives them. That’s how we arrive at candidates who fit on every level.”

A sporty Groninger
Bastiaan was born in Groningen and has lived in the Leiden region since he was thirteen. He remains a loyal supporter of FC Groningen. Outside of football, he enjoys Formula 1, winter sports and golf.
