Overview

Peter Hinssen has built one of the most distinctive careers in European business thought leadership. He co-founded nexxworks in 2015 with Steven Van Belleghem and Rik Vera, creating a platform that combines innovation advisory, keynote speaking, and executive education.

Before nexxworks, Peter founded and sold two technology companies. His first, Porthus, was sold to Belgacom. His second, n-side, was sold to Alcatel-Lucent. These exits gave him the founder credibility that underpins his advisory work. He also served as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at McKinsey.

He has authored six books on technology and business strategy, including "The Day After Tomorrow," which argues companies must simultaneously optimize for today and build for an exponentially different future. With 188K+ LinkedIn followers, he operates at a scale few Belgian voices reach.
