Experience
Q7 is led by a senior core team with hands-on experience in Regulated IT, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Enterprise systems and complex delivery environments.
Contact Q7Core team
Q7 is deliberately senior and focused. Assignments are led by experienced professionals who can work directly with management, IT, Quality, Operations and External Vendors.
Michael ten Broeke
Regulated IT, cybersecurity and implementation control
Michael has a background in applied physics and computer science, combined with broad experience in IT implementation, Infrastructure, Enterprise systems, Cybersecurity and Regulated delivery environments.
He has worked as Implementation Consultant, IT manager, Project manager and advisor in situations where technical systems, business processes and operational continuity had to be brought together.
His strength is translating complexity into structure: what needs to be decided, what needs to be controlled and what needs to move forward.
Robert Jan van der Horst
IT leadership, governance and enterprise delivery

He has led and advised on IT strategy, Cybersecurity Programs, ERP implementations, Governance, Infrastructure, CSV/CSA, Vendor Management and large-scale Transformation Programs.
His strength is connecting management priorities, business impact, governance and structured execution in complex organizations.
Extended specialist network
For specific assignments, Q7 works with a small network of trusted specialists in areas such as technical implementation, documentation, project support and operational follow-up.
This allows us to scale selectively without presenting a large generic consulting bench. The core team remains responsible for direction, quality, stakeholder alignment and management control.
Experience base
Our experience comes from practical delivery environments, not from abstract advisory models.
Enterprise systems
ERP, CRM, business systems, integrations, master data, key-user models and implementation governance.
Infrastructure and operations
IT infrastructure, hosting, networks, identity, endpoint management, operational continuity and IT service structures.
Cybersecurity
Security governance, access control, endpoint security, infrastructure security, secure connectivity and operational security controls.
Regulated delivery
Projects where documentation, validation, evidence, risk assessment and compliance-sensitive operations had to be handled pragmatically.
Vendor and program governance
Steering vendors, integrators, internal teams and external partners in situations with unclear ownership or high delivery pressure.
International delivery
Work with international teams, multi-site organizations, global programs and cross-functional stakeholders.
Experience with organizations including
Selected examples from assignments and client environments where Q7 team members have worked.
Relevant environments
Q7 is most relevant where IT, security, vendors and operational responsibility meet.
Life sciences and pharma-adjacent companies.
Manufacturing and industrial organizations.
IT services and managed service environments.
International corporate IT organizations.
Compliance-sensitive operational environments.
Companies with legacy systems and vendor dependency.
Organizations implementing ERP or business-critical systems.
Environments where IT, Quality and Operations must align.
Why this matters
Difficult IT and security projects require more than technical knowledge. They require judgement, structure, stakeholder handling and the ability to see where execution, risk and management decisions connect.
That is where Q7 adds value: not as another delivery vendor, but as senior support for situations where management needs a clear and independent view.
