Erik Boutkan | Managing Consultant

After obtaining my masters degree in business administration, with a major in strategic management, I started my professional career in 2000, in the Telecom & Utilities department of CMG (now Logica) as a telecom business trainee. In the first years of my career I experienced the fun of working in projects with people from different disciplines and levels of experience. My roles varied from project leader to service level manager and process manager. As a generalist and eager to understand business processes, I specialised in establishing alignment between business domains and IT, something I still enjoy doing.

To enlarge my knowledge of financial processes and accounting, I started working as a financial process consultant and studied management accounting, a post master degree. The main organisations I worked for were KPN, ABN-AMRO and the Dutch Tax Services. 

In 2005 I continued my career in the utilities sector (Nuon) and became one of the first certified lean consultants within the utility industry in the Netherlands. I was responsible for different process improvement projects in the value chain, from network development to production and sales. I acquired a broad knowledge of the utility sector and was closely involved with some major changes in the company, like the unbundling process and the restructuring of departments as a change management consultant. 

Before joining UCPartners I was responsible for the project management office within the asset development department of Nuon/Vattenfall Benelux, managing a team of project management associates.

I am an alround utility expert, a very motivated team player and capable of leading teams. I always look for opportunities to jointly set ambitious and measurable goals.
