Consultant | Founder
Jos van der Wielen
Jos van der Wielen believes that a good working environment is never just about the building itself, but about how people actually work. As an occupational and organisational psychologist and founder of Nassau, he combines an understanding of human behaviour with expertise in workplace design, hybrid working and organisational change.​
In recent years, he has worked for a wide range of organisations, from the National Police and the Ministry of Defence to Tata Steel, Shell and OLVG, always providing advice independently of suppliers and designers, from the initial research question to the final quality assurance.​
​
In recent years, he has worked for organisations such as the National Police, RVO, the Ministry of Defence, the Tax and Customs Administration, Tata Steel, Shell, Sonos EMEA and OLVG, providing advice independently of suppliers and designers, from research to quality assurance.
Flexible working concepts
Jacques Giesbertz
​According to Jacques Giesbertz, the greatest value is created where people and organisations reinforce one another, not in a building in and of itself. He studied Social Geography at Utrecht University and worked at various consultancy firms before establishing himself as a social entrepreneur, notably as the founder of the social initiatives GildePlus and Stadouders​.
​​
At Nassau, Jacques develops integrated and flexible working concepts for social property, with a focus on how organisations, functions and users can reinforce one another. A striking example is the working community at the Parktheater in Eindhoven, where various organisations and initiatives successfully collaborate within a shared environment.
Interior architect
Maud van Hees
​
For Maud van Hees, an interior is never merely about aesthetics, but above all a reflection of who an organisation is and how people want to work there. As an interior architect and owner of interARC Interior Design & Architecture, she worked on national and international projects – including at UNStudio – following her degree in Architecture at Delft University of Technology, and since 2016 has focused entirely on interior architecture for offices, educational and healthcare institutions.​
At Nassau, Maud translates organisational goals and user needs into functional, sustainable and inspiring working environments. Through a combination of creativity and analytical skills, she creates working environments that are not only aesthetically appealing but, above all, contribute to the organisation’s identity and way of working.
UX Design
Hans Strijbos
Hans Strijbos studied Spatial Design at the St. Joost Academy of Art and attended lectures on aesthetics at the University of Amsterdam. As a lead designer, he worked on international projects for many years, including for Bang & Olufsen.
​​
At Nassau, Hans focuses on internal branding and user experience. He translates organisations’ identities and core values into a working environment that inspires staff, and optimises the user experience so that spaces are intuitive and pleasant to work in.
