Outside of work, I’m active in my local community, play music, do sports, and enjoy the outdoors.

Elias Negrin

Elias Negrin

Most of my career has been spent making complex things work: people, systems, and decisions that have to hold up under pressure.

I’ve led teams across banking, SaaS, and industrial automation, often in high-pressure settings where trust, clarity, and delivery have to coexist.

At Rabobank, I lead international teams maintaining the bank’s core compliance and financial-crime systems, work that touches millions of customers and underpins how the organisation manages risk.

Before that, I built and led data-governance teams at ING, connecting people and processes across more than a dozen markets. Earlier experience in robotics and telecoms gave me a practical grounding in how technology, process, and culture fit together.
What drives me now is building teams that work with confidence and purpose.

I’m the type of leader that creates structure where people can grow. Making sure the technology we design genuinely enables the business, not the other way around.

Gee Ranasinha

Gee Ranasinha

Much of what we call ‘marketing’ today, is broken. Why are we spending more and more on marketing, yet getting worse results?

Gee believes that many businesses today are struggling with getting results with their marketing because they have lost sight of what they’re trying to achieve, and are using the wrong tools to fix the problem.

Gee has been in marketing since the days of dial-up internet and AOL CDs. Today, he's the CEO of KEXINO, a marketing agency and behavioral science practice working with B2B organizations in 20 countries.

A Fellow of the Chartered Institute Of Marketing, Gee is also Visiting Professor at two business schools, teaching Marketing and Behavioral Science to final-year MBA students.

Outside of work Gee loves to cook, listens to music on a ridiculously expensive hi-fi, and plays jazz piano very badly. He also has an annoying habit of referring to himself in the third person.

I’ve always been curious about what helps people grow — and what holds them back.

Early in my career, I worked in large organizations leading change and transformation. I saw how strategy alone wasn’t enough — people needed clarity, trust, and connection to truly move forward.

That realization led me to coaching. Today, I combine what I’ve learned from neuroscience, agile transformation, and positive psychology to help leaders and teams navigate change with confidence and humanity.

For me, it’s not just about performance — it’s about creating environments where people feel seen, valued, and capable of their best work.
