Maarten Sikkema is a seasoned technology entrepreneur and former CTO who co-founded Dutch system integrator and software firm Macaw in 1994 and scaled it from 2 to over 235 employees. He combines deep technical familiarity with strategic leadership, guiding product and engineering direction while serving on advisory and non‑executive boards for startups like Textmetrics and PESCHECK®. Now active as an investor and member at Arches Capital, he advises early-stage teams on go-to-market, technology choices, and scalable software practices. A Delft University of Technology alumnus, Maarten stays current with new technologies and development processes, blending hands-on engineering sensibility with experience in company-building. Less obvious: his background spans both creative design work (e.g., Woody Cookie) and hard systems integration, giving him a rare empathy for UX-aware enterprise solutions. He is based in Oegstgeest, Netherlands, and leverages 12+ years of formal experience alongside decades of entrepreneurial leadership.
