Mijn talent

I think one of my biggest talents is killing ideas that will not scale or bring value to our clients. But I get much more satisfaction, in doing the other side of that very same coin, and that is successfully iterating new AI business ideas through all phases of innovation, validation and funding. And designing the best change (internal) or Go-To-Market strategies (external) to reap the rewards.

And I enjoy helping clients achieve unfair competitive advantages with digital and AI, no matter how ambitious and complex the opportunity is.

Mijn opleiding

Not sure these still matter…;-)

but here they are:

Technical University Delft – BA Chemical Engineering
International Institute for Management Development (IMD) Lausanne – Master in Business Administration

Mensen en organisaties die mij inspireren

There are many but two that stand-out

Andrew Ng (ex Google, Baidu, now Coursera & DeepLearning.AI and Stanford) because he has been sharing his lessons learnt of 8 years of AI entrepreneurship transparently, so we can learn from his insights and lessons learnt. I had the opportunity to take a picture of his office at Stanford AI Lab a few years ago when I was visiting with my son Thomas. I still cherish the picture!
Yvon Chouinard and Patagonia for leading the way in building a business that shows us that people, profit and planet are aligned. And taking the final step by making ‘earth their only shareholder’.

Wat ik leuk vind om te doen in mijn vrije tijd

Take all kinds of bikes across all kind of terrains with all kinds of friends and family
Prepare and enjoy good food
Game nights with the family
Discovering new music and enjoying dance parties

Met dit nummer ga ik knallend het weekend in

Only one right… “You get what you give” – New Radicals but also Incognito’s “Always There” and Justin Timberlake’s ‘Can’t stop the feeling’ and ‘Can’t hold us’ of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis!
