Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Heijkoop is a results-driven technology executive with 12 years of experience leading developer experience, Agile transformation, and solutions teams across EMEA and North America. As Global Practice Lead at Valiantys and former Global Head of Agile at Adaptavist, he has a track record of turning underperforming units profitable, tripling regional revenue, and boosting project gross margins through revamped sales messaging and operational redesign. He combines hands-on product and solutions engineering experience—from founding a developer-focused startup to leading post-acquisition integrations—with a strong focus on strategic partnerships (including IBM) and M&A diligence. Based in Greater Boston, he pairs mechanical engineering roots and robotics research with practical go-to-market and P&L ownership, favoring lean build-and-sell approaches like selling packaged software rather than pure SaaS. Colleagues value him for shortening sales cycles, creating autonomous decision frameworks, and scaling distributed teams across continents.
