"Creating Strategic Business Structures for Permanent Profitability"

My goal with QuintusHegie.com is to be of useful service to fellow business owners and financial investors. The way I do that is by providing people the proven tools to make more confident and independent decisions. Those "optimal decisions" effectively help them get more outstanding results (better health balancing, sustainable wealth planning, lasting powerful relationships): positive, powerful, permanent business profits and personal power.

Now how do you make the right choices so you don't have to fail or guess any more? By using a decision making system based on scientific research and operational improvement! I can learn you how to look into the future, design the outcome or result the way you want it do be, and discover what choice you will have to make right now to get there instantly.

Your lasting success will happen "auto-magically", to the best extent possible and within the shortest amount of time. Not as a matter of luck... but as a matter of scientific law: the scientific law of working the odds in your favor. Activating the fail-safe path to your desired destination can be achieved by using principles I learned from Econometrics, Informatics, Marketing and Sales.

I can work with you personally (1-on-1), but you can also request me for an academic guest lecture or you can book me for a public speach at your event.

"Chance favors the prepared mind"

Bio

My name is Quintus C. Hegie, but friends call me 'Mister Q' - and so can you. I was born a few decades ago in Gouda, which is a city in The Netherlands famous all over the world for the Gouda cheese. I devote my professional time to being an expert in the art and science of data-driven business decision systems. That's a long sentence in laymen's terms meaning 'getting things to generate a benefit for lots of people based on actual experiences and natural laws'.

I obtained my Master's degree in Management Science and Operations Research at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. Since then I quickly gathered much practical experience and specialized information through the various world wide travels I made, the econometric and ICT-projects I did in the areas of finance, marketing and logistics, and the online businesses set up in the years thereafter. I consider myself as one of the few Dutch modeling experts delivering sustainable success using the integrated expertise of seemingly unrelated fields, including health, wealth and relationships. Hence I take the offense on problems faced using a hyper-concentrated laserbeam of my knowledge, my solving systems and powerhouse networks.

For example, when I graduated as a College Freshman from University, I thought: "Now what?". My father said: "Well, why don't you get a job and nice girlfriend?" So I did.

I found an excellent position as a Risk Analyst trainee at a large energy firm. I devoted my working hours in becoming excellent at what I did best: automated mathematical modeling. Although I was not that social savvy, it got me an reputation of the amazing nerd that got things working. About a year later I traded my traineeship for an expat-style position at the same firm. They loved it; employing someone with no strings attached while getting business problems solved for good.

But I had no clue about how to get a girlfriend so I started a part time business studying dating and relationships. I went out with 'the boys' and quickly acquired the skills to flirt with the women of my interest. (It took me a thousand more rejections though... but that's all part of the game.) Then I teached other guys how to eliminate their fears to meet the woman of their dreams. A few years later I received an invitation for my best friends wedding and his seven Russian ex-girlfriends. Brilliant.

So I went back to my father and asked: "Now what?" He said: "Well, why don't you get yourself a nice place to live?" So I did.

Hence I quit my normal-people-job and sold my share in the dating business, and started a new business in the mortgage and housing industry with a childhood acquaintance of mine. But I found out that a nice decent home was not something cheap, so I started looking for the best deals in the market. The housing prices have been booming for a decade so we invented the housing crisis to get those market prices back to ancient low levels. Together with my business partner I discovered there were government grants and subsidies and discounts and hundreds of other regulations to buy a house even cheaper. Sadly when I told my friends about these great home buying opportunities they quickly lost track of what benefits they could profit from. So we set up a small website displaying houses with discounts. This online platform for the Dutch housing market I am still working on today.

All work no fun? Quite the contrary. In my private hours I enjoy to read educational books, study a broad range of topics (including women), to snowboard with friends during the snowy winter period, dance the Argentinan Tango in any cozy local saloon, practice Krav Maga self defense, give a massage (or two), hypnotize friends and associates at will, and hang out with my family and friends.

Business ownership

I am currently a full-time business owner and investor. As such I am much more possible to make a lasting impact for the better on our society. I've grown from a scholar to an employee, and then to a business owner and investor. So if you think about starting on your own, you can, just like I did. Here's a record of businesses I own(ed):

2007-present Car Guardian B.V.: business owner and chief operational excellence; financial advisory
2006-2008 Dating Doctors V.O.F.: business owner, online marketing and webshop, dating coach and co-author; dating advice

Note: I don't like suppliers cold-calling me for business proposals, loans or recruitment services. So don't bother selling services to me.

I believe the world belongs to the "learn as you doers". If you or your organization would like to learn from me, consider to do a 1-on-1 consult with me or book me for an academic lecture or public speaking.

Clients

Before becoming a full-time business owner of Car Guardian B.V. in 2007, I've worked for several clients, some of whom you may know. I certainly enjoyed helping people and businesses out with my area of excellence. I am very grateful for having (had) the opportunity to work with those clients. Here's a list of clients I (have) work(ed) for:

2006-2008 Eneco Energy Trading: financial optimization models; energy trading
2005-2006 Pointlogic: quantitative marketing research and optimization; analytical consulting
2004 GlobalNeth: online presence; international business
2003-2005 Rotterdam School of Management: quantitative optimization software; management science
2003 Hegie Vastgoed: online presence; real estate rental
1998-2003 PostNL: logistics operations; direct mail
1994-1998 Interlanden Spreigroep: logistics operations; leaflets and newspapers

Note: As an employer, I no longer seek job positions. So don't contact me for job offers. However, do contact me if you want to work for me.

Bibliography

People know me as someone who likes to share his discoveries with others in writing. This educational website might as well be taken as proof of that, won't it? And so it is. I've written several columns, publications, papers and books. Here's a quick overview of my writing highlights:

2007 Instant Internet Seksdating ("Instant Internet Sexdating"): paperback book; internet dating advice
2006 Zelfvertrouwen met Vrouwen ("Confidence with Women"): paperback book; dating advice
2006 Commercials and Measurements: master's thesis; dating advice
2005 Movie Scheduling using Column Generation and Lagrangian Relaxation: bachelor's thesis; econometrics and management science
2004 Movie Scheduling using Column Generation and Lagrangian Relaxation: scientific article; econometrics and management science
2004 Blonde griet zoekt knappe gozer ("Blonde gal seeks handsome guy"): column; dating and relationships
2004 Schaarste in Overvloed ("Abundant Scarcity"): column; economics

Note: Because I sold my rights to the Dating Doctors company, please don't contact me for ordering Dating Doctors books. Instead go to the official company website and order there.

Currently I am working on a new book I which I will share with you my findings in the area of improving your business using statistical data and improvement methods.

Media

Parts of my work have been covered by media publications such as Cosmopolitan, FHM, Yes, MET, Estimator, Nieuwe Revu, Panorama and Penthouse. I've also appeared on BNN 101 and Endemol television and several radio stations. Just recently more articles about my daily dwelling were published in Algemeen Dagblad, De Telegraaf, Assurantie Magazine and Vastgoed Actueel.

Vastgoed Actueel: Vaktaal - SubsidieHuizen.nl is the solution for the halting housing market

Lecturing & Mentoring

Quintus Hegie speaking at Future Web Developments 2 congress at Erasmus University Rotterdam

I firmly believe in the importance of higher and acamedic education. Once in a while, I give a guest lecture to students at a High School or University about a topic related to Economics, Finance & Risk and Informatics. At the same time I mentor several graduating students and trainees from Hogeschool InHolland, Hogeschool Rotterdam, De Haagsche Hogeschool and Erasmus University Rotterdam.

If you're a (graduating) student and looking for a nice internship or your first job, I suggest you give me a call and discuss the possibility to join my talented team of young professionals.
