Founder

Rosalind Post van der Molen (1951) studies social sciences and economics. For 20 years, she worked in the business and not for profit sectors, in support roles, as a manager and as a CEO.
She then decided to start her own business, the Post van der Molen Group.
Her new company was active in interim management, helping companies create a coherent vision/mission/strategy, building leadership and coaching top managers.
She also started Permanent Business Support, a company that provided business support for SME entrepreneurs on a subscription basis.
At the same time, she was a regular lecturer in general management, strategy and leadership at Institute of Business Studies (IBW) and the Academy for Entrepreneurship, a joint venture of the universities of Groningen and Maastricht.
She has been active on various boards and committees.
The common thread running through all her activities is letting go and moving on.
This has enabled her to live life to the fullest and to always see new opportunities."The need to let go is one of the constant factors in our lives — and it always leads to new insights, new choices". That has become her ‘way of living’.
After 15 years as an entrepreneur, she went on a sabbatical and in 2003 she founded CrossLines Foundation.
It is her deepest conviction that all the world is one coherent whole. Our actions, collectively and individually, directly impact that global coherence.
Because of this global interconnectivity, we must recognize our universal responsibility for good stewardship.
That is why current and future leaders, entrepreneurs and top managers need to see this coherence and their own responsibilities towards the world; need to develop the power and the courage to choose to use their position in society and business to make a positive contribution towards the world as a whole.
It is the actions of these people that can contribute to creating a world in which no people are left without a chance, a society in which our differences lead us to listen, be silent, gain insights and learn to work together more closely together, across and beyond cultural divides.
It is this philosophy and these values which has driven Rosalind Post van der Molen over the past few years to build a global network of partners, of social and business entrepreneurs and of organizations involved in philanthropic action.
As such, she was invited to join the World Economic Forum at Davos in 2006.
