About Bart Bellers

Welcome to the world of innovation and entrepreneurship, where boundaries are pushed, solutions are sought, problems are solved and the status quo is challenged. Guided by powerful mantras of this is where I thrive. Since my earliest days, I’ve been captivated by technology. From the dawn of the PC and the internet to handheld devices, electric vehicles, and now Artificial Intelligence, I have always stood at the forefront, eagerly embracing, and adapting to each transformative leap. I'm passionate about what I do and love to inspire others with creative and decisive leadership. I believe in endurance, in pushing through challenges and finding solutions to problems. Over the years, I have sharpened my business acumen and leadership skills, leveraging startup principles to maximize efficiency and innovation. My journey began in sales and account management, developing a robust understanding of how business is done. This foundation at the intersection of business strategy and digital innovation, led me to entrepreneurship. As the founder of Atum, I served as the e-business manager for a large B2B e-commerce business, with clients like Hewlett Packard, Tech Data, SAP, and Coca-Cola. Later, as a part of the leadership team at Amadeus IT Group, I played pivotal roles in Innovation, Business Development, and Corporate Strategy. These experiences presented opportunities to learn, forge invaluable relationships, shape startup ecosystems, and pioneer innovative strategies. In 2018, embracing the spirit of 'THINK DIFFERENT' and 'JUST DO IT,' I established an Asia-based investment venture platform. At XPDITE, we nurture and invest in early-stage travel, food, and health technology startups across Asia. Building this platform has been an amazing adventure, building and cultivating strong relationships within regional and global startup ecosystems. Beyond work, I am a firm advocate for lifelong learning. Staying on the cutting edge of emerging tech trends is a personal passion as well as engaging in a friendly game of golf or snooker. I am always open to connect with like-minded professionals and explore potential partnerships. Feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn.
