Where Corporate Leadership Meets Buddhist Wisdom
I'm Koen van den Biggelaar — former executive at Microsoft and AWS, TEDx speaker, and a Buddhist practitioner. I left corporate life to build something I believe the world needs right now: a bridge between contemplative wisdom and modern leadership.
Buddha in the Boardroom is a foundation for professionals who want peace, meaning, and focus — without leaving their careers behind.
