With a unique career at the highest level within the police, investigation, and international cooperation including the Dutch police, the National Investigation Team, Europol, and the International Police Cooperation Bureau, Tom Driessen offers organizations a rare glimpse into the world behind undermining, geopolitics, and organized crime.
The greatest risks for organizations are often invisible… until it’s too late.
What distinguishes Tom Driessen is his ability to translate complex threats into concrete implications for organizations and decision-makers. His lectures are not theoretical discourses but sharp analyses based on decades of practical experience in combating serious, organized crime.
Organized crime is not about badges, barriers, and fences but about proactively making people and organizations resilient.
For organizations in the public sector, Tom provides insight into how crime develops and where policy and execution fall short. How criminal networks exploit the financial sector. And why the port and logistics sectors as well as supply chains are vulnerable to organized crime.
For executives and boards, he translates these risks into strategic issues surrounding governance, reputation, and continuity, an eye-opener for people in the field.
What if organized crime starts to affect politics? As the leader of the investigation into Desi Bouterse, politics and organized crime frighteningly overlapped.
With his experience as former director of the National Investigation Team and deputy director of Europol, Driessen understands like no other how crime operates on both national and international levels. In his current role as a strategic advisor at The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS), he focuses on the impact of geopolitical developments on crime and security.
Tom’s lectures answer questions that are urgent for every organization:
Tom Driessen speaks with natural authority, calmness, sharpness, and realism, and confronts his audience where necessary. At the same time, he offers concrete tools and perspectives to be better prepared for the risks of today and tomorrow.
How do criminal networks operate within legal structures such as finance, logistics, and government? Tom Driessen shows where the biggest vulnerabilities lie and what organisations can concretely do to mitigate risks.
Crime increasingly infiltrates regular processes. This lecture clarifies how undermining works, how to recognise signals, and how to make your organisation resilient.
International developments such as wars and instability strengthen criminal networks. What does this mean for Europe, the Netherlands, and your organisation? Where sanctions are imposed, crime flourishes.
How do you make decisions in a world full of uncertainty, threats, and complex interests? Driessen shares lessons from the top of international investigation.
Why collaboration between organisations, countries, and sectors is essential and why it often fails.
