Louis Kinsbergen

After years in corporate leadership at Unilever and building, scaling and exiting companies myself, I started as executive coach for CEO's. I found that progress was stuck, but fundamentals were strong. The people were capable. Yet progress had stalled. What unlocked movement wasn’t a new plan — it was a different way of thinking, deciding and leading. That experience became the blueprint for what is now the Breakthrough Performance Program.

Across multiple ventures — from mobile technology and international scale-ups to sports data analytics, lead generation and digital platforms — I experienced growth phases from the inside. I led through funding rounds, restructurings, rapid expansion, plateaus and exits. Each phase demanded a different level of leadership clarity, ownership and decisiveness.

The Breakthrough Performance Program is built on those real-world patterns. It combines structure with confrontation, reflection with action, and strategy with personal leadership behaviour. Not theory. Not motivation. But practical shifts that leaders and teams feel in their day-to-day decisions

Outside of work, I love experiencing adventures with my family, marathon running and some other sports. And leadership mirrors that reality perfectly. Breakthrough performance isn’t a sprint. It’s built through endurance, discipline, focus — and the ability to keep moving forward when it gets uncomfortable.
