Hugo van Nispen is on quite a run. Since joining Kema five years ago, van Nispen was integral to the launch of Kema's management consulting practice and helped grow the new operation to about 30 percent of Kema's overall revenue in just two years. He was the top-producing consultant for the firm four years running. "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good," he says with a laugh.
And last year, he was named president and managing director of the Americas, a region that includes North America, the Caribbean, Latin and South America, Australia and New Zealand. Since he took the reins, the practice has grown about 15 percent, but that's just the beginning, he says.
Kema's business is
focused exclusively on the energy and utilities sector, and, "I have a dramatically different view than my predecessor of what the market is able to bear," van Nispen says. "I think our market is ready for our core product, content differentiated management and technical consulting services. Our business model is to have deep, deep industry content and tailored solutions."
