EU Business News- Benelux Enterprise Awards 2025 Best Purpose-Driven Coaching & Organisational Growth Consultancy 2025 – Belgium Born out of the recognition that countless individuals encounter obstacles as they progress through their careers – and that many need outside help to overcome them – FoxAdvice partners with struggling individuals to help alleviate pressure, traverse difficult terrain, or reach that next milestone. Founded by Joel De Vos in May 2023, the company’s commitment to best practice and industry excellence make it the ideal support network for leaders and career-driven individuals alike. We caught up with Joel on the back of this win to learn more about his company. Since Joel’s story is inextricably linked with that of FoxAdvice, it pays to go all the way back to the beginning: Joel’s difficult transition into adult life after being diagnosed with cancer at 18. Despite being victorious in his two-year battle with the disease, Joel entered into his twenties with a mountain of debt, no career, and no prospects to speak of. Given he had overcome so much already, Joel was determined not to lose hope. Then, thanks to the support of those around him and his faith, things finally began to fall into place. This upwards trajectory continued a few years later, when Joel made the switch from a role in the hospitality industry to HR, allowing him to continue his passion of working with people but to serve them in a different way. Now, almost 15 years later, Joel has a wealth of experience under his belt, and it is this expertise that fuelled his decision to start FoxAdvice just over two years ago. Aside from this, Joel is now also a husband, a father, and – as of a few years ago – a marathon runner, capping off a remarkable journey. Much of what Joel does through FoxAdvice is to help other people experience a similar sense of satisfaction from their own growth and development, which he achieves by delivering leadership support across areas such as strategy, operational governance, and human resources. This support may take the form of more straightforward leadership coaching (such as delivering advice) or providing direct services (where Joel will take on a role on a temporary basis to establish the right level of governance for a company.) Offering further insight into this, Joel told us: “My services are based on creating the right connection. I am a relational leader; I only get involved when I get a clear mandate combined with an atmosphere of trust and collaboration to be able to make a real difference. FoxAdvice doesn’t work on deliverables, it focuses on leaving a footprint.” Impressively, this footprint extends beyond just the field of leadership and consulting, as just last year FoxAdvice donated 20% of its profits to a local NGO that procured funds to deliver food to vulnerable school children. Working in this sector, Joel has seen first-hand just how many clients are in a state of stress, stemming from challenges relating to the market, supply chains, customer behaviour, or other such difficulties. As Joel himself put it: “What I see in the market is a longing to find balance and stability. Most leaders I see are finding it hard to set a vision for the future and to move forwards calmly. They are often confused, tired, and feel inadequate.” Passionate about shaking things up and putting the pieces of the puzzle in the correct places, Joel’s entrepreneurial heart and HR expertise blend with his strategic and innovative thinking capabilities in order to deliver concepts that go outside the box and challenge industry norms. For leaders or business professionals in search of support or guidance, this knowledge can make all the difference, setting them on the right path for a brighter future. Talking of futures, the next steps for this leading growth consultancy are all geared towards growth of its own, with plans to hire some more colleagues over the next couple of years. As it expands, FoxAdvice will do so according to its values and purpose, promoting excellence in a culture of collaboration and alignment that will see everyone working towards this goal of changing lives for the better.

They feel they have nothing to refer to in order to find comfort and prove they can turn the challenge around…Until they find us.”
