Jochem Overbosch
Founder and Managing Partner Overbosch & Co
Jochem Overbosch brings a unique blend of personal resilience, global perspective, and strategic expertise to his role as Founder and Managing Partner of Overbosch & Co, an executive search firm specializing in healthcare leadership. His journey reflects a lifelong commitment to excellence, purpose-driven work, and building trusted relationships across sectors.
Jochem began his journey at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, where he developed a foundation in business and leadership. Early roles at Deutsche Bank and Booz Allen Hamilton provided him with extensive international experience, honing his analytical skills and igniting his passion for solving complex challenges. It was through these experiences that Jochem identified his calling in executive search, particularly within the healthcare sector—a field marked by its complexity, societal impact, and the extraordinary dedication of its professionals.
This focus became deeply personal when Jochem served as a non-executive Chair for a small healthcare provider. This role underscored the transformative power of (medical) leadership in driving both quality and accessibility in healthcare delivery. This realization became the cornerstone of his career, inspiring him to pursue impactful leadership solutions within the sector.
For over 15 years, Jochem led the healthcare practice at Odgers Berndtson, where he cultivated deep relationships across Europe and contributed to transformative initiatives within the industry. Driven by a desire to make an even greater impact, he founded Overbosch & Co in 2024. The firm is dedicated to partnering with organizations to identify and place visionary leaders who align with their strategic objectives and can catalyze meaningful change.
Jochem is recognized for his strategic acumen, industry expertise, and unwavering commitment to integrity. Under his leadership, Overbosch & Co aims to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare by strengthening the leadership structures that drive innovation and progress.
Jochem lives just north of Amsterdam with his wife and two daughters.
