STUCK? ​

 In the corporate mud and bureaucracy 

TIRED? 

From searching for the next step or iteration​

FED UP?

 With begging for funding​

EXHAUSTED? 

From regulatory oversight and opposition​

Are you facing a status quo that is begging for a breakthrough?

Let’s Talk!

Welcome to the Blue Mind Company — where we never ever accept the status quo.

The Blue Mind mindset makes you happier, healthier, more connected, and better at what you do.

The Blue Mind Company – Rebels with a cause

The Blue Mind Company was born out of a passionate belief in the transformative potential of disruptive thinking and a mindset of never ever accepting the status quo.​

After more than 20 years in Banking, finance and corporate venturing, having seen the bank and its ecosystem up and down, inside and out, topped up with a successful adventure in corporate innovation, with a beautiful scale up as a result…

…after being frustrated and worn out over and over again by the stickiness of the system, the corporate politics and the mind-boggling logic of the regulatory and compliance framework…

…the time has come to start making things happen by never ever again accepting the status quo!​

The Blue Mind Company (BMC) supports a culture of rebellion against status quo, and a fluid mindset. A culture that is required to accomplish break through change and innovation.​

Blue Mind:
A fluid Mindset dearly needed (and often lacked) in generating break through change and innovation by never ever accepting the status quo.

“Sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission”
