willem’s story ...

Willem & Too is born out of a genuine people leader’s conviction to define concepts at the business that speak of collaboration, collective success, and a ‘never quit’ attitude.

Willem van der Zee embodies innovative and personalized hospitality. He has helped numerous leading global hospitality, lifestyle, and travel companies streamline and optimize their vital business aspects like Operations Management, Asset Management, and People Management.

A pragmatic decision-maker, he puts passion and perseverance into the process to accomplish the set goals. He is a disruptive leader - driven by results, driven towards objectives, and driven with unflinching focus.

A true Dutchman, he appreciates straightforward intentions, happy people, candid conversations, and punctuality. A doting father, a loving husband, and a cheerful and fun friend that he is, his love for good food and wine is immense. A hotelier at the very core, Willem never misses an occasion to host or be hosted.

Effective leaders develop the capacity to “fly” their thinking at all three altitudes, not getting trapped at any one of them. They cultivate the seamless ability to mix forward-vision thinking, tactical execution and self-awareness – across the three altitudes of leadership.
