Prolific scholar and strategic talent management expert Lidewey van der Sluis recently joined the app School of Business as the 2024 William Spoelhof Chair. The chair role brings gifted teacher-scholars to app on a rotating basis.  

"We are delighted to welcome Lidewey van der Sluis to the app School of Business," said Jim Ludema, Dean of the School of Business. "She brings world-class expertise in strategic leadership and talent development, along with a wealth of experience in executive education and high-level consulting across business, government, and educational sectors in Europe. Her presence will enrich our academic community. Her work is guided by Reformed Christian faith, and her global perspective and insights will provide valuable learning opportunities for the community."

Van der Sluis’ responsibilities include collaborating with various app schools and departments to explore the potential for an executive education hub, guest lecturing in undergraduate human resource courses, delivering a keynote address at the Future of Leadership Executive Breakfast Series on November 22, 2024, and continuing her scholarship in leadership, strategic management, and talent development.

“It's an honor to join app as the Spoelhof Chair,” said van der Sluis. “It is a great learning experience to work with the strategic and visionary leaders of this iconic institution. I am extremely grateful to be able to contribute to and be part of the app community. On a personal level, it’s also a treat to soak up the West Michigan culture inspired by Dutch immigrants into an innovative and thriving Great Lakes region of Northern America.”

She has an extensive publication record in the area leadership, strategic management, and talent development including:

  • 13 practitioner books (4 in English)
  • 31 book chapters (7 in English)

Van der Sluis holds a Bachelor of Science in economics and management along with a Master of Science in business economics from the University Amsterdam and a Ph.D. in business economics and econometrics from Erasmus University, Rotterdam. Additional education includes a professional certificate in academic leadership from the Free University Amsterdam, non-executive leadership from Nyenrode Business University and executive leadership and corporate social responsibility from the University of Cambridge Judge School of Business.
