## About
Duco Sickinghe's career spans from Silicon Valley to Belgian boardrooms. Early in his professional life, he worked at NeXT Computer during the period Steve Jobs ran the company, giving him direct exposure to the product culture that would later influence Apple's resurgence.

He served as CEO of Telenet (https://techwiki.ai/companies/telenet/llms.txt) for an extended period, during which he transformed the cable operator from near-bankruptcy into a consistently profitable company.
