I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bertrand, and I can confidently say he is one of those rare professionals who combines deep technical expertise with genuine human connection. Bertrand is a cornerstone in every transformation he touches—bringing calm, maturity, and sharp insights that enable organizations to make real progress.

His knowledge of Agile, DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud practices is exceptional, but what sets him apart is his ability to make these complex topics approachable. Bertrand has a natural talent for coaching and guiding teams, always with patience, humor, and an approachable style that makes people feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.

Ik heb veel van Bertrand kunnen leren en waardeer zijn expertise doorzettingsvermogen en analytisch inzicht. Met name zijn vermogen om ingewikkelde materie plat te kunnen slaan en begrijpelijk vast te leggen spreekt me erg aan. Hij heeft een goede basis gelegd voor dit traject waar we dankbaar gebruik van maken. Ik zou in de toekomst zeker weer willen samenwerken met Bertrand.”

December 2022, Mike Bakker, Solution Architect [ING]

“Samenwerking met Bertrand heb ik als zeer positief ervaren. Als projectleider van het project workspace (VDI) onderscheidde Bertrand zichzelf als Professioneel, Kundig en doorpakkend. Tevens heeft hij een fijne persoonlijkheid. Bertrand wist precies door zijn aanpak wat het team nodig had. Een absolute aanwinst voor ieder project!”

February 2021, Kevin Leclaire, IT Consultant [T4-itsupport]

“Bertrand played a key role in a complex and global change initiative within the ING in which we implemented a standard (agile) way of working in over 40+ countries. What makes him successful is his capability to truly listen, understand and connecting to people. He qualifies to me as patient though persistent; daring to ask tough questions and challenges status quo. Feeling comfortable in a multitude of roles, varying from change agent or trainer to be the organizer and facilitator of workshops spanning many disciplines. By bringing practical experiences and show broad understanding of theoretical frameworks and methodologies, proved very helpful in achieving our goals. Without any doubt would ask him anytime again when I would face a future challenge. Thank you for your support, we couldn’t have done without you!”

Bertrand has a strong personality with in depth technical knowledge about the ServiceNow tool. Together with his ability to enthuse and create a trusted bond with people enables Bertrand to navigate through difficult organizational challenges during any change.

The roadmap created by Bertrand and the guidance he provided to the other IT teams involved in this change has lead to a successful implementation of the ServiceNow tool for ING.

Next to that he became proficient with the latest version of ServiceNow rapidly.

Thanks for the cooperation!”

May 21, 2015, Julien Jumpertz [Paphos Group]

“I’ve worked with Bertrand since 2008. His passion and drive to get work started and done, do not hinder him in doing it in a structured and well thought through way. As a project manager, he is always a step ahead and sees things within a wider context. He delivers quality and commitment, but expects this from the team and supplier as well. During the last few years, Bertrand was one of driving forces in the global project managers’ team to get well-structured Project Management Office (PMO) setup. This has resulted in the selection of AtTask, which has been of great value to the company (not limited to IT). Next to this global work, he has been keen on building and socialising the IT roadmap to bridge the gap between IT and the business stakeholders. Bertrand is a great counterpart to think ideas through, able to provide a view on the flip side in a very constructive way. I wish him all the best, but I hope that our career paths do cross again in the future.”

1 Juni 2014 | Leendert Verhoeff, Head IT Operations at TAQA [Abu Dhabi National Energy Company]

4 April 2014 | Brian Verdies, System Engineer, undisclosed company

“I know Bertrand as an experienced project / program manager. Bertrand is very good at managing large IT projects and programs, especially his soft skills stand out. He doesn’t lose sight of the end product, where it’s all about. It was a pleasure working together on serveral projects for TAQA, where Bertrand acted as program manager.”

12 Maart 2014 | Stephan Bassie, System Engineer at TAQA, owner Triomph B.V.]

“Rest assured when Bertrand is leading challenging projects. Not only does he own all the qualifications, applies the appropriate structured methodology, and skills expected from a project- and program manager, his wide knowledge (and beyond) on these areas guarantee success, whilst never losing his composure. Overall, a very intelligent, motivated and valuable professional.”

10 Maart 2014 | Hilmi Tekin, Security Coordinator at TAQA

“As the Head of IT Governance and PMO at TAQA, I have had the pleasure to work with Bertrand de Neve for over four years.   In the first three years, Bertrand was primarily managing projects on behalf of our operation in the Netherlands. During this time, our work relation centered around the IT PMO Group; a global committee represented by portfolio managers from our operating entities that is set up to promote standards and best practices in project management across the IT organization. With a strong affinity for methodology and armed with a number of relevant certifications, Bertrand was an active and appreciated member of the group.   In the last year, Bertrand became a direct report and shifted to manage global IT projects. The largest project was to replace six different applications used to manage the IT service desk with a single cloud based solution. This involved managing more than 180 stakeholders spread across four different geographies. Bertrand did a great job directing the project team and creating a collaborative team spirit.   Future employers will find Bertrand to be structured, responsive and a loyal person who is fully capable of managing large and complex projects.”

7 januari 2014 | Edward Ljunggren ^PMP, Head of Governance and PMO at TAQA [Abu Dhabi National Energy Company]

“I worked with Bertrand during my time with TAQA. At the time TAQA was in its infancy and corporate processes and methodologies needed to be established. Along with colleagues from other countries we developed an enterprise-wide PM methodology for the corporate PMO, one which respected regional and cultural differences while still maintaining a solid foundation to guide projects.
I found Bertrand to be well versed in various project management methodologies (PRINCE2, PMP) which served us well in applying them to what would become the TAQA methodology.
Bertrand is an incredibly intelligent and dedicated individual. He demonstrated this countless times during his tenure, whether it be managing individual projects, managing IT resources, or participating as a project team member. During the implementation of Workfront (formerly Attask), a portfolio and project management software tool, Bertrand fully embraced the system and quickly became a resident expert in the product. I would highly recommend Bertrand to any PM and senior level IT position.”

March 3, 2016, Kim Leong Program Manager at TAQA International B.V.

“Bertrand is an intelligent and skilled Project- & Program Mgr. His hard work and analytic skills are valuable for any project. I’ve had the pleasure to work with him for several years, during which we achieved great synergies. Bertrand has an eye for details, while also recognizing the bigger picture. His refreshing view has been inspiring, his expertise has been of great value and his personality makes him great to work with.”

24 december 2013 | Sjoerd de Vries ^PMP, Program Manager IT at TAQA, owner at Triomph

He is experienced in an international setting, operating in a multinational company; politically and pragmatic where needed.”
