CM Partners delivers a complete range of service with which organisations can handle the setup, professionalisation and implementation of contract management. An important principle in this is the contract management method developed by CM Partners: CATS CM®
CM Partners was established in 2005 by Gert-Jan Vlasveld and the late Jan van Beckum. In the 90s they were the founding fathers of the field of contract management. As a pioneer in the field, CM Partners grew into a leading consultancy, training and temporary placement agency.
Gert-Jan is a real ‘believer’ in contract management. He is one of the founders of CM partners and has had contract management running through his career as a central thread since 1995. Before the establishment of CM Partners in 2005, he held various positions in IT and facility management for twenty years. Gert-Jan is an experienced trainer and advisor, co-developer of the CATS CM method and coauthor of the book ‘CATS CM Edition 2014’. He is a member of the board at NBCM.
Linda joined CM Partners in October 2019 as a senior partner. As an enterpreneurial accountant, she saw how contracts form the basis for good business. She is a miracle worker when it comes to contract strategy and contract management implementations. Linda has an allergy to things that don't work and she knows how to eliminate the blockages flawlessly. She is a sparring partner for organizations that want to control the contractual impact of outsourcing.
