Olivier Prakken
Facilitator
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by nature, especially the wilderness of Africa. Alongside my Economics degree in Groningen, I trained as a field guide in South Africa and spent over eight months working as a ranger at Thornybush. On my first wilderness trail in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, I discovered that nature’s power lies not only in its grandeur, but also in the smallest details and how everything is connected.
For over five years, I have also been a biodynamic beekeeper, finding a different kind of wilderness close to home in our bee garden.
I live in Driebergen with my wife Annemijn, our four children and our dog. I love walking and playing sport outdoors in nature, as well as gathering around a table with family and friends.
My career began at Procter & Gamble, where I led my first teams. I then spent 11 years as managing director at several FMCG and food companies. Over the past eight years, I have founded and led two companies in Delft. Throughout these experiences, what has energised me most is helping people and teams discover their strengths and grow.
As a facilitator, I bring a calm presence, curiosity and a genuine interest in people. I am attentive and connecting, and I see my role as an enabler: by creating a calm setting, listening closely and asking thoughtful questions, I help you to slow down, notice what is really going on and discover what truly matters to you.
My recent trail in Scotland showed me once again how much clarity nature can bring, and how letting go can create room for peace.
