I’m Janneke van den Berkmortel, Founder of VDBCoach

With more than 9 years and 2,500 hours of Executive Leadership Coaching experience, I’ve empowered over 400 executive leaders to love their lives and work, unlock their potential, and build a better tomorrow for all.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting Executive leaders and their teams across various Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, and startups worldwide. My work focuses on helping executive leaders realize their true potential by maximizing their personal, professional and relationship goals. 

My journey:

As a coach, executive leader, athlete, and parent, I experienced that both physical and mental fitness are essential to loving your life and work, achieving peak performance, cultivating healthy relationships, and making a meaningful impact.

After obtaining my Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) and Master’s in Economics (MS), I worked in the investment banking Industry across the US, UK, and the Netherlands. As an Institutional Sales Manager, I assisted professional investors with their investment strategies, guided C-suite executives in crafting compelling narratives for the investment community, and supported my team’s development.  I also spearheaded diversity initiatives and established a successful ‘Women in Investments’ network in the Netherlands.

A turning point came when I became ill and discovered that an autoimmune disease had left both my body and mind out of balance. I shifted my focus to my well-being, listening to my body, and incorporating healthy habits into my daily routine, including a healthy diet and both mental and physical fitness. Through this journey, I learned that mental and physical well-being is key to resilience, sustainable peak performance, and healthy relationships.  It also allowed me to focus on what and who I love the most, including my work as an Executive Leadership Coach.

As an experienced coaching professional, I envision a world where everyone loves their life and work and strives for a better tomorrow for all. My coaching centers on unlocking your full human potential, empowering you to perform at your best, while supporting your well-being and healthy relationships, both within your organization and beyond.

I believe that every leader and organization possesses the answers and wisdom within. Coaching and facilitation offer structure and accountability, help you tap into your insights, uncover your full potential, and achieve meaningful impact for all.
