How can I help you?

With more than 25 years of experience on stage, I am the female chairperson with flair in the Netherlands and am asked back time and again by clients. And not without reason. I find it important to be involved and share my creative ideas wherever possible. I create a good atmosphere for everyone - from speakers to technicians, from audience to catering - and I take care of things where I can. It is my job to make the day - which as far as I am concerned starts from the application - as smooth and enjoyable as possible

Why me?

I combine my economics background with feminine flair.
I create interaction with the audience and get everyone moving.
I take care of things. If something goes wrong, I always solve it immediately.
Besides enthusiasm, I exude calm and commitment, from application to final applause.

"As a speaker, I meet day chairmen on a daily basis. However, I will long remember working with Pauline. The warm contact beforehand, genuine interest in people and topic and a gulse smile made the event feel pleasantly charged even before we got on stage. Once there, she revealed herself as disarming which made the speakers and attendees feel at ease. This made the day not only strong in terms of content but also with a festive edge. In short, I am a fan."

What do I do for your event?

Do things sometimes go wrong? Of course they do, but I like those moments when I have to improvise, then I can show my added value immediately. I save your event when a speaker ignores the clock, an expert dives full into jargon or a panel discussion gets a bit too heated. I then step in as moderator, take action in a light-hearted way and instantly create a different outcome. It is my mission to give everyone space to be seen and heard with stories that stick. No need to worry about that.

How do I move your audience?

The other day I had the whole of Bouwend Nederland dancing on stage. In suits. Without embarrassment. It was a behind-the-scenes bet with the client for a bottle of wine on whether I could pull that off... and I can tell you, that glass tasted good. It's not about that bet. Or about me. It's about getting the audience moving and taking away something that will make employees return to the workplace with a smile and more connection. Getting and keeping your audience moving is what I do it for.

Which topics do I feel at home in?

I am always excellently prepared and can relate well to new topics, but themes such as innovation, sustainability, entrepreneurship, change management, empowerment, resilience and personal leadership, are closest to my heart.

Years of TV experience benefit online events

My stage presence does not end offline. Thanks to my years of experience as a TV presenter, I am used to the camera and also adapt effortlessly in the digital world. In fact, I want to help you choose that more often. A recorded interview online has a much longer lifespan than just that offline presentation, and thanks to a recording, you can use your event for your marketing for much longer. Speakers who are less used to the eye of the camera, I am happy to help them be more at ease in the digital realm. Win-win!

In short, whether you're organising an offline event, an online seminar, or a mix of both: I'm here for you (in Dutch or English) to make it a resounding success.

What others think of me

"Pauline was chairman of the day at the FIT festival of Zorg van de Zaak Network. A wonderful day that ran smoothly under Pauline's guidance. Pauline creates the right atmosphere to tell your story well on stage, makes it better with relevant questions and knows how to connect speakers and audience. Professional and positive. Good to have there."

"The management of Plukon Food Group presented the annual figures to its top international management through an internal online talk show. The talk show was chaired by Pauline de Wilde. We really enjoyed working with Pauline. With her good preparation and under her inspiring leadership, we were able to present our annual figures and presentations well. Thanks to Pauline's (TV) experience, we put on a very professional talk show, which was very much appreciated by our top international management."

"At Pino, we enjoy working with Pauline de Wilde as day chairman, and often do so. What makes working with Pauline so enjoyable is that she actively thinks along in the preliminary stages and has good and creative ideas due to her years of experience. Pauline is genuinely interested in her speakers and audience and always adds a personal touch to an event, which creates a connection. And if something happens that we had not planned in advance, Pauline is so professional that she both keeps calm, thinks along in creative solutions and always ensures that the event runs smoothly no matter what. As a client, that gives a lot of confidence."
