Summary
Tom Mensink is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over two decades of experience bridging hands-on development, architecture and agile project delivery across industrial automation, aerospace and financial services. Trained in AI and control at TU Delft and Imperial College, he began in robotics and embedded systems before transitioning into large-scale IT programs, Scrum leadership and ultimately augmented reality development for HoloLens. He combines formal process expertise (PRINCE2, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt) with a strong agilist mindset, repeatedly rescuing troubled projects and driving rapid business value while guarding mid-term architecture and TCO. As a Unity/HoloLens developer and founder of AR-focused ventures, he blends product-minded engineering with strategic CTO responsibilities. Colleagues rely on his out-of-the-box thinking in complex situations and his insistence on quality, testability and pragmatic delivery. Based in Zwolle, he’s equally likely to be found hiking or prototyping IoT + AR demos in his spare time.
