Zeger: where joy at work meets freedom

Johan van Vulpen and Philip Rulo combine their experience and passion to create an environment where professionals can take on challenging assignments — while maintaining a sense of freedom and enjoyment.

About Zeger

Philip contributes his background as an (in-house) tax advisor and his executive search practice; Johan brings his experience as a senior partner at HVK Stevens and former tax partner at a Big Four firm.

With Zeger, everything comes together for Philip and Johan: joy at work, freedom, trying new things, learning by doing, laughing hard, applying experience, creating meaningful connections—and embracing adventure.

Zeger is an initiative by Philip Rulo and Johan van Vulpen, who met during a personal development program. They discovered they had both been nurturing the same dream for years: to build an environment where experienced professionals work for top-tier clients at a high level—while preserving their independence and joy at work. They realized they could make that dream a reality together, as their strengths complement each other in key areas.
