As a Fast Flow consultant, Team Topologies Valued Practicioner and experienced technology leader, Thomas helps organizations optimize their software delivery processes by focusing on the human elements as much as the technical ones. Thomas' approach is rooted in understanding that modern technology challenges are inherently socio-technical – they require solutions that consider both systems and the people who build and use them.

Drawing from his background as a platform engineer and technical lead, he brings hands-on experience in DevOps practices, Platform Engineering, and Team Topologies. He's particularly passionate about helping organizations optimize for fast flow and building platforms that lower cognitive load rather than act as a constraint. This perspective has been shaped by years of working at the intersection of technology, process, and people at anything between startups and global scale enterprises.

As a community builder, he has played an active role in growing the DevOps movement across the Netherlands, serving as a community organizer for devopsdays Amsterdam and the devops Amsterdam meetup group. He is now also starting a new grass roots community around Fast Flow through both conferences and the Fast Flow NL meetup group.

His work combines strategic thinking with practical implementation, focusing on areas such as Platform Engineering, Product Thinking, and organizational design. He helps teams and organizations navigate the complexity of modern software delivery while keeping the human element at the center of technical solutions.

Instead of a traditional bio, I asked ChatGPT: "If I were a font, which one would I be?"

The response?

Chris, you’d be Bebas Neue—a bold, confident, slightly unconventional font that still maintains clarity and professionalism. It represents your entrepreneurial mindset, rock-and-roll edge, deep faith, and your ability to balance fun with strategic leadership.
That sums me up well. I don’t fit neatly into a box—I’m an entrepreneur, a musician, a writer, and a teacher. But at my core, I help people innovate, sell, and grow by blending real-world experience with a practical, no-nonsense approach.

Why Hire Me?

Some speakers build their careers by talking about… their speaking careers.
I’m different.

Everything I share comes from real experience—hard-earned lessons from building businesses, making thousands of sales calls, and leading high-growth teams. When I get on stage, I don’t deliver theories. I deliver what works—because I’ve lived it.

Two Numbers That Changed My Life

1. 5,000 Cold Calls
Fresh out of college, I had no marketable skills. My degree in History and Museum Studies wasn’t exactly in high demand. My newlywed wife and I needed to eat, so I decided: I was going to learn how to sell.I took a job selling life insurance. I was terrible. My first-year earnings: $2,163.72. (Yes, I counted the decimals.) I knew I had to do something different, so I focused on mastering cold calling—because most people hated it, which made it valuable. After bouncing between six companies in five years, I finally committed. I took a job at a startup—just me and two other guys working in a bonus room. That year, I made 5,000 cold calls.

2. 9,000 Pitches
Over the years, I’ve pitched AP automation technology 9,000 times. Not because I have a special gift—because I’ve done it repeatedly. Of those 9,000 pitches, 1,200 turned into business. The other 7,800? Most people would call them failures. I call them education.
Here’s my definition of failure: Failure is making the same stupid mistake twice.
