NLMeet Vincent Pieterse
I’m Vincent Pieterse, an executive leadership coach working with ambitious leaders who want to grow, rethink, and lead with greater clarity.
As an executive coach, leadership expert, and published author with a Ph.D. in Business Administration (specializing in Leadership and Organizational Culture), I bring over 40 years of international experience across corporate, academic, and entrepreneurial contexts.
Personally trained by John Mattone — the world’s #1 coaching authority and former coach to Steve Jobs — I’m proud to be a Master Certified Intelligent Leadership Coach and part of the Elite Coaches within the John Mattone Global family.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of leaders. These include Fortune 500 executives, CEOs, and ministers, as well as senior government officials, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders across Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Ultimately, my focus is on helping leaders grow, expand their impact, and lead with clarity and purpose.
Unlocking Leadership Potential
My coaching approach is grounded in the Intelligent Leadership methodology developed by John Mattone, complemented by a strong focus on the power of language and meaning. I believe that the words we choose shape how we lead. By reframing challenges, we can open new paths for growth.
I help leaders uncover their inner-core drivers and align them with strategic action, creating impact that is both personal and organizational.

A Creative Lens on Leadership and Culture
I draw inspiration from art and language. This allows me to bring a creative perspective to leadership and organizational challenges. I focus on surfacing the positive and offering fresh insights into deeply rooted dynamics. By viewing thoughts, behaviors, identities, and group culture as shaped by social interaction, I support leaders in seeing beyond the obvious — and in crafting strategies that lead to meaningful, lasting change.
Bridging Practice, Academia, and Global Leadership
I am also a member of the International Coaching Federation, Forbes Coaches Council, and the Dutch Order of Professional Coaches (NOBCO).
I serve as an Executive Coach at IMD Business School, an Honorary Fellow at the University of Leicester Business School, an Associate at de Baak Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship, and a Lecturer at VU University Amsterdam’s School of Business and Economics.
I’m certified in Hogan Assessments and the NEO Personality Assessment as well.
Before my coaching career, I spent over a decade in senior-level leadership roles.
