I had just become a dad a couple of months earlier and was planning to move back again to the beautiful south of the Netherlands. Five years later, I have already done more than 20 projects at different companies within the consumer products industry and in the meantime became a dad for the second time. EyeOn has grown a lot since then and I am happy to see starters bringing new expertise on data science to EyeOn. Over the past years I have gradually taken over more senior roles in projects and I am now also coaching juniors that recently started at EyeOn.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am in the lead of two new projects. One of them is Kaemingk, a world leader in the distribution of home accessories and decorative products.<\/p>\n<p>After two years of working remote, I really like that we have face-to-face contact with customers again. I see how it not only gives positive energy to myself, but also to our customers. Of course, travelling to customers comes with a price. However, as an expert in planning, I am able to keep a close partnership with our customers while maintaining a healthy work-life balance . For example, each second Thursday I have a gym class with my oldest son, who goes to special school for children with a multiple communicative disorder. EyeOn gives me the opportunity to plan my work flexibly, so it&#8217;s possible for me to spend important time with my son.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13932 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Willem Gerbecks, business consultant\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-456x456.jpg 456w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>My favorite part of working for EyeOn is the variety of people that you work with. From Monday to Thursday, I am either working at Croy castle and see my data science and Planning Services colleagues often, or I am working at customers and work together with my colleagues from the consumer products team. And on Fridays I work half a day from home, then do my weekly running practice, before picking up the kids from school.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready for a next step in your career and see yourself working at EyeOn? <u><a href=\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/vacancies\/\">Join our consumer products team, we\u2019re hiring!<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Willem Gerbecks, business consultant<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An employee story by Willem Gerbecks I started working at <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13932,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[152],"class_list":["post-13931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-employee-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>EyeOn<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Work-life balance as a business consultant - EyeOn\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An employee story by Willem Gerbecks I started working at\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"EyeOn\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-04-29T07:04:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-04-04T08:20:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/\",\"name\":\"Work-life balance as a business consultant - EyeOn\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-04-29T07:04:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-04-04T08:20:59+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/#\/schema\/person\/7d1dd2fe2d2ca771537effe63a449d6a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0153_v2_square-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2560,\"height\":2560,\"caption\":\"Willem Gerbecks, business consultant\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/blog\/work-life-balance-as-a-business-consultant\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Work-life balance as a business consultant\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/eyeonplanning.com\/\",\"name\":\"EyeOn\",\"description\":\"We love impactful forecasting &amp;
