Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPim Rutgers is a hands-on technology leader and CTO with 11 years of experience translating research-grade hardware and software into industrial products for energy-neutral buildings. He has led cross-disciplinary teams at PHYSEE and now Next Sense, blending sensor, solar and coating innovations with data analytics and AI to decarbonize real estate. Trained as an industrial and product designer at TU Delft with a minor in computer science, he pairs aesthetic, human-centered design thinking with systems-level technical architecture. Pim’s background spans R&D, production management and productization—from PowerWindows and SmartWindows to building control platforms—so he’s as comfortable in the lab as on the factory floor. He also brings entrepreneurial instincts from running a slow-fashion label, a detail that surfaces in his emphasis on durable, well-crafted solutions. Based in Amsterdam, he focuses on making buildings Paris-proof by marrying practical engineering with long-term sustainability.
