About Tim

Experience that
spans continents.

Tim Verhofstadt is the founder and sole consultant of Outcome Consulting. With over 20 years at companies including MasterCard, Napoleon and Superbet, he has built a career at the intersection of compliance, risk and finance — always with a practitioner's mindset and a focus on measurable results.

He is equally comfortable shaping strategy in the boardroom and rolling up his sleeves to build processes, implement systems and develop teams on the ground. His international career has taken him across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.

"He delivers results and outcomes, acting as change agent while managing the daily deliverables. He thinks strategically while often being hands-on."

Tim works with a select number of clients at any given time — always personally engaged, never delegating to a junior team. Engagements can be project-based, part-time advisory, or full-time interim management.
