About Fitch & Friends

Fitch & Friends is the new “home” of Margaret and Ruud Rikhof, where we unite our experiences and capabilities accumulated over 30 years in corporate and consulting.

It is a place, a “home” from where we welcome and further nurture and grow business friendships. A place where we can assist you in finding the best potential partners in our network to address your challenge.

We call it “Executive Services” as it contains a wide range of topics for which you can connect with us for an exploratory conversation. With our combined track record, we will almost always know where to go with questions around topics such as:

Career advice at any stage: especially when it concerns international relocations and when you are at crossroads about choices and directions.

Job hunting support: we know the people who can work with you on what works and does not work in your job search.

Executive search advice for international candidates with multinational companies. When you are in transition and need dedicated time to be pointed in the right direction or the choice to find the right search partner.

Consulting in the people space, on individual, team, or organisational level. We will help you identify the right partner to support you in this immensely diverse and scattered market.

Networking: we happily make our network available and connect with like-minded peers.

Access to thought leaders: We have researched and published extensively in and about “The Future of Work, organisations and HR” and know where to go if you want to connect with thought leaders

Coaching and mentoring; we have an extensive network of partners who can provide top-of-the-range coaching or mentoring
