Senior🎓
Top SchoolGideon De Kok is a technology advisor with 14 years of experience rescuing stalled engineering organisations and realigning tech with business outcomes for clients from €30M to multi-billion revenue. He specializes in diagnosing and fixing architecture, team structure, and delivery process issues, then embedding modern practices — including AI-driven development — so smaller teams ship faster. Gideon has led turnarounds and platform builds across retail and e-commerce names like Veneta, Ace & Tate, Wehkamp, PVH and Imperial Brands, often assembling and coaching teams to deliver event-driven, cloud-native solutions. He runs Luxent, a boutique practice that uses fixed-scope diagnostics to untangle legacy systems and leave teams able to sustain momentum without long engagements. Known for getting in, rebuilding foundations, and getting out, he combines hands-on technical execution with board-level advising. Based in Almere, he pairs a pragmatic engineering background with an unusual blend of product, operations and nutrition study curiosity that informs a systems-thinking approach.
