Filip Heitbrink

“You cannot know what you don't know, therefore, keep learning!"

A limitless source of ambition that fuels action

 
Our Co-founder and former CEO is a driving force of ambition, growing the company from the ground up to over 70 employees and 200 customers worldwide. Motivated by challenges, they are a positive, fearless, and logical leader with an insatiable hunger for learning and a passion for embracing life.

 

As a board member, he continues to think about ways to improve and scale the company, offering strategic guidance and insights to drive future growth. When he's not working, you'll find Filip with his nose in a book, jet-setting, spending time with his family, or fitting in some sports. Fun fact: Filip is a recreational skydiver—we did mention he's fearless, after all!

An international self-made entrepreneur, Filip has lived in the Netherlands, Brazil, California, and Spain, and speaks Dutch, English, Spanish, and Catalan fluently. Although his education was in classical music at the Conservatory in the Netherlands, when Filip wasn't tinkling the piano keys you would find him enthusiastically bashing away at the keys of a computer.

He taught himself how to code and was an early adopter of the internet, passionate about the world of computers and tech. At the age of 20, Filip was already programming websites and web-based applications as a self-taught freelancer. He went on to program and build B2B solutions, which he later specialized to specifically serve the pharmaceutical sector. His ultimate dream? Putting a dent in the universe by using tech to solve problems.
