Boek John van den Heuvel en zet de bekendste misdaadjournalist van Nederland op jouw podium. Van frontlinie naar keynote: scherpe inzichten over criminaliteit, veiligheid en ondermijning.

John van den Heuvel is the Netherlands’ most renowned crime reporter and is frequently invited to speak on organized crime, security, and subversion. He began his career as an undercover agent with the Amsterdam police and built on that experience to spend decades as a frontline journalist. This gives him a perspective you won’t find in any other speaker.

Before joining De Telegraaf in 1990, he worked for nearly ten years with the Amsterdam Police, serving in the uniformed division, the criminal investigation department, and the riot police, including two years undercover. During that time, he gathered evidence against drug traffickers through infiltration. That background runs like a thread through his entire career. As a crime reporter, he exposed Desi Bouterse as a drug lord, was the first to uncover the connection between Willem Holleeder and real estate tycoon Willem Endstra, and reported on high-profile killings in Amsterdam’s underworld. He wrote from the inside about the international drug mafia and traveled to Colombia, Suriname, and the Netherlands Antilles, where he met Pablo Escobar’s brother in prison. His book on Holleeder and 25 years of the “polder mafia” was the best-selling journalistic book of 2008.
Since 2001, he has been a regular crime expert on RTL Boulevard and has hosted his own programs such as Bureau Misdaad, Bureau Van den Heuvel, Ontvoerd, and Dossier Van den Heuvel. He reaches an audience of millions every day and has been under 24/7 security from the DKDB for years due to threats from the criminal underworld. That fact alone makes his stories immediately relatable to any audience.

As a speaker, he translates that front-line knowledge into themes that are also relevant in the business world: integrity, risk management, subversion, cybercrime, money laundering, and the intertwining of the underworld and the upper world. Every presentation is tailor-made, based on current cases and his own investigations. John is available as a keynote speaker, moderator, discussion leader, or workshop facilitator for conferences, seminars, corporate events, and security conferences. Book him through Showbird for a presentation that will truly leave a lasting impression on your audience.
