/ INTERPRES – BOARD LEVEL CONSULTANCY
Strategic advice for leaders who carry responsibility
Interpres guides CEOs, directors, and boards of directors in making strategic choices that truly matter. As founder, Patrick Van Lijsebetten, I combine years of experience with discretion and a sharp insight into leadership and governance.
/ C-LEVEL PARTNER
Interpres offers executive coaching for CEOs, directors and executive board members. Do not expect a standard trajectory, but a discreet sparring session that starts from your reality.
Boards of directors that truly embrace their role
A board of directors is not a formality. It must function as a vigilant and active strategic body.
We assist with:
- the launch of a new board, additional members, or a chairperson
- improving operations and composition
- guiding the interaction with management
- sharpening roles, expectations, and decision-making
Interpres guides both companies and non-profits in building strong governing bodies.
We work together with strategic partners for this: House of Boards – Women on Board – GUBERNA – BCTE – BOARDIO
Executive coaching at the highest level.
No model, but a custom approach.
You do not need to look for yet another theoretical model. What you need is someone who listens, who understands the weight on your shoulders, and who does not shy away from difficult questions.
- 1-on-1 coaching for CEOs and directors
- Sparring on strategic dilemmas
- Tailor-made trajectories, no standard models
Leadership requires self-insight. We help you develop that further.
Patrick Van Lijsebetten
Strategic sounding board for leaders with responsibility
I support CEOs, directors, and boards of directors in making strategic choices that impact people and organizations. I combine years of experience at the boardroom table with a sharp eye for governance, leadership, and decision-making.
I am known for my ability to quickly get to the core. I address what often remains unspoken and bring clarity to complex situations. Always discrete, independent, and with respect for the responsibility that leaders carry.
Trust is built with experience
With decades of experience as a director, CEO, and strategic advisor, I am a sounding board for people who carry responsibility.
My strength lies in quickly understanding complex situations, naming what is not being said, and bringing clarity where there is confusion.
Whether it concerns guiding a board of directors, taking on a board mandate, coaching, or searching for a CEO via executive search.
I speak the language of the boardroom, and that of the people behind it.
