Tom Van Dongen
Creative Producer & Advisor
for executive communication
No noise. No friction. Just results.
Support for C-level executive comms teams.
Discreet, strategic, and hands-on.
With over 25 years of experience in executive communication for companies like Microsoft, GSK, the European Commission, Siemens — and many more — across Europe and beyond, I understand how leaders think, communicate, and value their time.
I work exclusively one-on-one with C-level teams. No intermediaries. No unnecessary crew. From video and podcast to internal messaging, keynote content, and social presence — I combine strategic focus with seamless execution.
While communication teams focus on shaping the vision and messaging of their C-level executives — whether CEO, CFO, COO or others — I discreetly handle the technical setup and flawless production behind the scenes.
No unnecessary vendors, consultants, or project managers. No coordination overhead. Just that rare blend of strategic clarity and technical autonomy that makes me efficient, reliable, and discreet.
No noise. No friction. Just results —
Sharp in message. Clean in visuals. Right in tone.
Taking pressure off executive comms teams by handling everything needed to ensure their executive communicates clearly, credibly and professionally — without adding to the team’s workload.
Whether working on-site during productions, keynotes or internal events, or supporting remotely with livestreams and social content — I deliver from concept to final output.
