Dennis De Clercq
De Clercq co-founded Buffl in 2018 with Dimitri Allaert, inspired by a 2016 conversation about the gap between product ideas and validated consumer feedback. He comes from a background in product development and brought a focus on rapid validation to the platform. Buffl serves clients including Telenet, Proximus, Orange, KBC, Colruyt, P&G, and BBDO, and is based at Kardinaal Mercierplein 1 in Mechelen.
