Career

Starting as a pianist student at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague, followed by a MSc–degree at the Technical University of Delft, he worked at Alfabeeld, a creative consultancy-firm in Amsterdam.
At 35 he decided to make a big change and started as a musical comedian in theatres, first with Dutch TV-personality Rob Kamphues and later as a solo-artist. Throughout the years he made his musical and theatrical approach also work for corporate conferences and events, giving hundreds of presentations.
More recently he came back to consultancy and for a few years he joined Aberkyn, a change leadership-firm of McKinsey. Now with his own company ‘de Nootenkraker’ (Nutcracker) as a change-expert Coen had a thriving consulting practice about change, (personal) leadership, breaking patterns and psychological safety

Private
