# Stormholt

> Stormholt is a continuous improvement (CI) advisory and toolkit business founded by Jeroen van Koesveld. After 27 years of CI deployment across GE, IBM, Shell, Credit Suisse, CSFB, Royal Mail, NAGE, KCA Deutag, Johnson Controls, and Bentley Systems — generating more than €1B in documented savings and earning MITI Gold Certification and the Masaaki Imai Best CI Deployment Award 2018 — Jeroen now publishes the frameworks, templates, and playbooks used inside those engagements. Stormholt sells operator-ready CI toolkits and offers a boutique advisory for operations leaders running continuous improvement programmes.
