Patrick Follon - founder 
"Trained as a biologist and computer scientist, I have always had a keen interest in complex (eco-)systems and information and communication technology. I had the opportunity in the early nineties to pioneer the possibilities of the then-emerging internet. This perfectly aligned with my ambition to take on leadership and management roles at the first internet service providers. For years, I worked on the front lines of new internet developments and thus contributed to the spread and application of the internet in the Netherlands.
In 2007, I founded the management consultancy firm Follon & Partners and, after several assignments, became captivated by the challenges and complex practice of IT sourcing and outsourcing. I decided to specialize further in this field, and I am now a sought-after project leader with a unique style: I guide, train, and coach organizations to become successful in IT sourcing themselves. Increasingly, I do this with the associated partners of Follon & Partners. Together, we are further expanding the activities of Follon & Partners."
