Ernst Schipper

Ernst Schipper is a culture strategist who helps organizations turn culture into strategic advantage. He works with organizations to understand culture as a coherent system that shapes how strategy is interpreted, translated and executed so ambition moves beyond plans and becomes shared direction in everyday work.

Ernst supports organizations navigating growth, transformation and strategic change, often entering through employer brand or Employer Value Proposition (EVP) challenges and using these as a lever for deeper cultural and strategic alignment. His work connects strategy, organizational context and employer brand, enabling organizations to scale with clarity, credibility and trust.

With more than 20 years of international experience, Ernst has worked with organizations including Booking.com, Philips, BCG, Siemens Energy, FrieslandCampina and bol, as well as fast-growing scale-ups such as GetYourGuide and Backbase. He is the founder of Dandelion Strategies and the author of The Symphony of Strategy.
