The room becomes the material.
Keynotes, working sessions and a day in the chair. For leadership days, kick-offs and summits, always shaped around your event.
In English or Dutch. Fixed price per format, agreed up front.
Not another tech talk.A room that starts to see.
My talks live where technology meets what it asks of us as people. I bring technology from another era on stage: the machine that once promised the future, next to the one promising it now. And then I put the room to work. Not an audience in their seats, but people who leave seeing their own work differently, and talking about it.
I’m technology agnostic. No vendor to plug, no platform to defend. I look at every technology with the same interest and the same open, critical eye.
- The human side of AIWhat a new technology asks of the people who have to make it work.
- Change that moves a whole systemWhy strategy stalls between the layers, and what gets it moving.
- Technology through timeEvery new technology arrives with a myth. AI is the latest. What the old myths show us about the new one.
The room, halfway through. Nobody is watching anymore, everybody is working.

Where difference becomes depth.We celebrate every new tool and forget that seeing deeper is progress too. I bring a piece of technology from another era on stage, something that once promised to change how we look, and use it to show that a room is never looking at one truth, but several at once. People who’ve heard every tech story before leave with a sharper question.
For a strategy day or leadership session. Also as a working session, woven into your PI planning or kick-off. Bring this in →Playback
The moment it clicks.The hardest thing for any leader to see clearly is themselves. I bring an object from another era that turns the looking inward, and lets people catch a glimpse of the story they tell themselves, and mistake for reality. It doesn’t perform, it lands.
For an event on leadership, culture or the human side of AI. Best in smaller, senior settings. Bring this in →Do You Copy
Finding the same channel.Most of what makes or breaks a collaboration happens in the space between people, and no one names it. I bring an old way people once used to reach each other across distance, and use it to make that space audible: between partners, between departments, between the people who decide and the people who deliver.
For business and IT, a merger, or an ecosystem that needs each other to build something. Bring this in →Rewind
Nothing is ever lost.Sometimes you have to go back to understand where you’re heading. A warm keynote built around a sound from a format we’ve almost forgotten, that looks at how far we’ve come with technology and what we quietly carried along.
For an anniversary, a team day or a kick-off. The warmest of the four. Bring this in →Or the roomdoes the work.
The same keynote, but the insight comes from the room itself. Woven into your PI planning, kick-off or event, from one intimate team to 150 people and more. Teams look at their own work through a new lens, and produce what they need to move. Built to keep working after the day, in their own rhythm.
Delivered inside a PI planning of around 150 people: from each team’s own view to a shared one.
Never off the shelf.
No keynote comes ready-made. Before I build yours, I read your context on every side: what your leaders believe, how people relate, how the work actually gets done, and the structures around it. That’s Signal Seeking, and it shapes the story I bring, the technology I put in your hands, and the question I leave you with.
Your context sets the talk, every time.
Or I chairyour whole day.
The moments where your organisation sets direction: the quarterly event, the strategy day, the kick-off. Talk of technology tends to be either hallelujah or deeply technical, and neither lands. As your chair I keep one thread running through the day: what does this future mean for us, why do we want it, and what do we quietly see standing in the way.
I don’t run a script. I read the room as the day unfolds, pick up what’s actually said, and steer it so the message lands and the whole day holds together. That’s the difference between a day that fills the agenda and a day people still talk about afterwards.
For the gatherings that have to move a whole organisation, I design the arc with you, shape the sessions, and hold the room on the day.
