Iets met AI – Bring your organisation forward with AI

What if you miss the boat?

I help you with a no-nonsense, results-focused approach I applied for years at my own agency.

No thick reports, just a practical plan so you can start with confidence and reach your goals.

About me

After nearly 12 years building Pixelpillow, I've specialised in helping companies with AI implementation. And honestly? Every day I see organisations struggling with the same question: where do you start with AI? What are the opportunities? And how do you make sure it goes beyond an experiment and creates real impact?

My approach is no-nonsense and practical. No theoretical frameworks or thick reports that end up in a drawer. I first investigate where the real opportunities lie, validate them with data, and then help you set priorities. In 3–4 weeks you'll have a concrete plan you can act on immediately.

I also write about AI and business. My book "Van idee naar impact" is about how AI is fundamentally changing software development, and what that means for entrepreneurs in 2025. But that's mostly background — my focus is on helping companies that want to do something with AI right now, today.

How I like to work

Transparency matters to me. Here's what you can — and can't — expect from working together.

Don't call me for

  • An AI Content Expert

    I handle the tooling and advise, but I don't write content with ChatGPT myself. Your team is much better at that.

  • Getting everyone on board

    It works best when your team already feels that AI will take them further. That energy is where I can make the biggest difference.

  • Putting IT on the map

    I assume technology and digitalisation are already taken seriously. Then we can get straight to the substance.

  • Endless reporting

    I'd rather work with you than present to you. Reports are part of the job, but I prefer spending my time on things that create direct value.

  • Building for the boardroom

    My focus is on tools and solutions that move the whole organisation forward, not pet projects for one person.

Where I add the most value

  • Hands-on collaboration

    I work alongside your team and contribute directly to solutions. No detached advisor — a working partner.

  • A practical, no-nonsense approach

    No thick reports that end up in a drawer — a concrete plan you can act on immediately.

  • Focus on impact

    I find the biggest opportunities and tackle them first. Results-driven, not hours-driven.

  • Honest advice

    If something won't work, I'll say so. No sales talk, just an open conversation.

  • Knowledge transfer

    I make sure your team can continue independently. No dependency — just making you stronger.
