Hilke Heremans is a pragmatic Chief of Product for hard- and software with 11+ years of hands-on experience designing resilient systems and leading cross-functional teams for events, heritage conservation, and high‑peak consumer platforms. She blends a rare mix of technical depth (developer, architect, CTO) and business rigor (former auditor mindset, product leadership), enabling informed decisions that balance scalability, privacy and user experience. At Tomorrowland she architected systems to survive extreme peak loads; today she aligns hardware and software teams to deliver tangible value for conservators and institutions. Known for spotting nuanced edge cases, she prefers simple, practical solutions built one step at a time and will dive into the nitty‑gritty as the team’s technical Swiss Army knife. Her leadership focuses on cultivating warm, safe environments that encourage growth, authenticity and rigorous debate. Early exposure to computing (a C128D at age five) underpins a lifelong curiosity that fuels both product strategy and deep engineering craftsmanship.
