Background

About Wouter Belmans

I am passionate about delivering business growth at the forefront of disruptive innovation (AI, Cloud, Digitization). Since 25 years, I have led large teams at blue-chip technology companies (incl. Cisco, BT, Bain). As a long time believer in the potential of AI, I have recently supported an AI start-up that aims to “power sustainable AI in Europe” (EscherCloudAI). I'm an effective general manager, due to my wide experience across consulting, sales & business development, channel management, product management, service management and fund raising. • As VP for Systems Integrators at BT Global, I brought a declining revenue line (€ 300m+/yr) to growth by improving sales effectiveness and structuring large deals. • As VP of BT Consulting, I set up a team of strategy consultants that work with large multinational customers and achieved more than £ 350m revenue pull-through in my final year. • As Product Director of Cloud Service Creation at Cisco, I built a team that creates new cloud products for telco's and achieved more than $ 250m in revenues in my final year. • As Regional Service Manager at Sun Microsystems, I built and managed a network of 75 service partners. I received the Sun Star award for delivering high quality services in emerging markets. I get excited about opportunities in which I can take a leading role in growing a technology business, preferably in AI. I can help scale AI start- & scale-ups to maturity as CEO, CRO or COO. Or I can drive growth in a large technology business in executive commercial, operations and strategy positions.
