Wienke Giezeman is a serial entrepreneur and technology leader with 12 years of experience building products and communities around connectivity and digital services. As CEO and co-founder of The Things Industries and initiator of The Things Network, he has driven the creation of a global LoRaWAN IoT stack—combining network server software, hardware and support—to make pervasive, secure IoT connectivity accessible. He has a background spanning product, architecture and go-to-market roles at startups and corporates (including Adyen, XS4ALL and Sanoma), and an early track record of founding and exiting consumer-facing ventures.
