Senior🎓
Top SchoolBart Goethals is a research-driven technology entrepreneur and Full Professor who blends 20+ years of academic expertise in data mining and AI with hands-on product leadership as founder and CEO of Froomle. He leads the Adrem Data Lab at the University of Antwerp and has steered academic departments while commercializing pattern mining, recommendation and predictive modelling research into real-world analytics products. His career bridges deep technical work—efficient frequent pattern mining from his PhD—to building privacy-aware big data and recommendation systems at scale. As CTO-turned-CEO he pairs scholarly rigor with startup execution, translating research prototypes into customer-facing solutions. Based in Antwerp, he also holds an adjunct role at Monash University and, unusually for a computer scientist, trained formally as a professional cook, reflecting a practical, multidisciplinary curiosity.
