About Milou

Milou specialises in turning fragmented ways of working into streamlined, practical solutions. Bridging business and IT, aligning people and technology, and making sure what gets implemented actually gets adopted. Her strength lies in combining governance expertise with hands-on tooling implementation: from platform selection and configuration to full deployment and organisational adoption. She understands that the real measure of success is not delivery, it's whether the organisation continues to build on it long after the project ends.

As co-founder of Dekunova, Milou wanted to build more than a consultancy - a place where people, ideas and growth come together. Where experienced practitioners work shoulder to shoulder with client teams, not above them. A firm that helps organisations simplify complexity and create practical solutions that truly work in everyday practice, not just on paper.

What drives me

"What drives me most is seeing organisations truly embrace change and make new ways of working their own. Too often, processes and tooling become overly complex or disconnected from day-to-day business - while the real value lies in simplification, collaboration and solutions that genuinely work for people.

I enjoy connecting business and IT, helping teams work toward a shared way of working, and seeing organisations grow in maturity. The most rewarding part of my work is hearing that teams genuinely experience growth in their daily collaboration, that the way they work together has fundamentally changed for the better.

For me, success is a lasting impact that organisations can continue building on long after we leave."
