About A&S Creative Solutions
At A&S, we are passionate about leadership, science, and innovation. And about getting results!
After many years of working in different organizations we realized: "There must be a more intelligent, better, more fun, efficient, and engaging way of working!"
We fell in love with Change Strategies and Design Sprints as a way to energize teams and book results.
How are we different from other coaches and consultants? We have been in your place and discovered how gaining clarity and focus will help you to move forward. And we will work with you personally to show you how...
Our Team
Dr. Anat Akiva
Founder
Anat has more than 10 years of experience in guiding research and innovation.
I gained my first leadership experience as an officer and instructor of the Israeli Special Forces and subsequently as a successful academic group leader, acquiring prestigious grants and publishing influential papers. During this period, I co-founded a world-class center for advanced electron microscopy, where I now still go to inspire researchers to solve problems in science and technology.
I then took on the challenge to work in industry as corporate product manager in imaging technology, before deciding to dedicate my time to helping leaders and teams in their decision making processes..
Currently Anat focusses on helping academic group leaders and entrepreneurs leaders using facilitation strategies including grant proposal design. Anat is a certified AJ&Smart Master Facilitator.
Dr. Nico Sommerdijk
Co-Founder
Nico is a full professor of Bone Biochemistry and director of the electron microscopy center at Radboudumc in Nijmegen (NL). He has 25+ years of experience in science and technology, achieving top international recognition for his work, including two ERC Advanced Investigator Grants.
I am excited about inspirational people-first leadership and achieving top results through clarity, dedication, and massive action. As a passionate martial arts practitioner with black belts in karate and aikido, I have now found a new challenge in learning Krav Maga!
Within A&S, Nico uses his experience to guide group leaders and entrepreneurs to achieve their dream goals.
