Company Description

650 Degrees is the independent practice of Thijs Wesselink, a Netherlands-based interim leader and transformation operator who partners with product- and technology-driven companies to deliver complex change. Backed by an MScBA in Business Administration and Strategy from Rotterdam School of Management and more than 13 years bridging business and IT, he takes hands-on, outcomes-focused roles that range from General Manager and Delivery Lead to Turnaround (Program) Director. His track record includes P&L responsibility for a 40 FTE consultancy specializing in IT transformation, architecture, and Agile/DevOps, where he led operations across consulting, sales, marketing, finance, and HR while redesigning the operating model for rapid growth. He has delivered end-to-end ERP transformations, including a company-wide Microsoft Dynamics implementation at a 250 FTE new energy scale-up, resetting delivery structures and ways of working to achieve the first successful go-live after years of prior attempts. He also led a 3,500 FTE corporate reorganization to restore profitability, driving 35% efficiency gains and reshaping board governance in close collaboration with the CEO and ExCo. Industry experience spans new energy solutions, high tech and PE/VC-backed scale-ups, retail, telecommunications, insurance, media, and facility management, with engagements across the EU, Middle East, and Latin America. Known for embedding with C-level stakeholders (CEO, COO, CTO, CFO), he establishes product-oriented delivery models, DevOps practices, pragmatic governance, and clear prioritization so teams can execute with ownership. Previous environments include Prosus/OLX Group, Booking.com, Xebia, LetGo, PayU, Eneco eMobility, DU/EITC, Telenet, Van Lanschot Kempen, GrandVision, Sodexo, Woonstad Rotterdam, Enexis, Stedin, ABN AMRO, and Klaverblad. Thought leadership includes publications on scale-up growth dynamics originally published by Xebia. Based near Utrecht, 650 Degrees engages on interim leadership, program delivery, and project-based mandates where organizational and delivery complexity is high and success is strategically critical.
