👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSjoerd Van Bekhoven is a hands-on CTO and builder with 12 years of experience turning sustainability and circularity concepts into production-ready digital products. He combines full-stack engineering, data systems and product leadership to help consumer goods brands measure and reduce environmental footprints, currently shaping Root Sustainability's platform used by brands like HEMA and O'Neill. Previously he led rapid growth and ops-tech integration at Pieter Pot—scaling orders tenfold, hiring and managing engineering teams, and shipping new apps under intense operational pressure.

He regularly freelances to advise green and social ventures, bringing pragmatic, production-focused solutions that blend technical depth with operational empathy.
