Seppe Housen

Seppe Housen

Hi, I’m Seppe!

I work on Responsible AI at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), risk management, and governance, with a clear mission: AI that benefits everyone.

With over five years of experience in AI, including the last three years focused specifically on Responsible AI, I specialize in helping organizations unlock the value of AI while proactively managing its risks. I combine hands-on technical expertise with a strong governance mindset, enabling me to translate complex regulatory and ethical requirements into concrete, actionable guidance for both technical and business stakeholders.

I play a central role in developing and scaling Datashift’s Responsible AI offering. Achievements I am particularly proud of include:
- Implementing Belgium’s first successful AI risk management framework for AI front-runners
- Acting as a trusted advisor to more than 15 strategic clients on Responsible AI
- Designing an internal screening process to assess the risks of all AI systems developed by Datashift
- Working on real-world AI systems ranging from agentic AI and customer-facing chatbots to healthcare AI, government evaluation systems, and pricing models in banking

What once felt like a “weakness” - an atypical background - has become my greatest strength. I combine hands-on technical experience in AI with an academic background in Criminology, Management, and Applied Economics, allowing me to connect societal impact, business value, and technical robustness. This unique perspective enables me to bridge the needs of executives, risk managers, and AI practitioners.

I began my speaking journey through Datashift’s internal knowledge-sharing sessions, and quickly expanded to community meet-ups, webinars, conferences, and interactive workshops, engaging audiences ranging from beginners to seasoned experts.

I am passionate about sharing insights on Responsible AI because AI is too valuable to ignore, yet too risky to approach carelessly.

Outside of Responsible AI, you’ll most likely find me in the gym - training my lifts and preparing for my next competition, such as the European Weightlifting Championships.

Matt Fenner

Matt Fenner

Matt Fenner has dedicated more than 30 years to acquiring companies, improving their financial and operational performance, expanding their value, and guiding them toward successful exits. Working from Florida, he combines a strong accounting background with executive leadership and hands-on business management experience. Over the years, he has worked across organizations of varying sizes, from startup ventures to large corporate operations.

Matt earned an MBA in Finance and a BBA in Accounting from the University of North Florida. After beginning his professional career in a CPA firm, he moved into private enterprise, where financial discipline and practical business decision-making were closely connected. Early experiences taught him that while financial statements provide important information, lasting improvements come from taking the right actions to strengthen business performance.

One of his notable accomplishments was helping support the growth and sale of the largest privately owned alarm security company in the United States. Following that transaction, he joined the acquiring company's M&A team, where he contributed to tuck-in acquisitions in a business generating $10 billion in annual revenue. This experience helped shape his understanding of acquisitions, business growth, and value creation.

Matt Fenner from Jacksonville later served as CFO and startup equity partner for a motorcycle retail organization operating several locations across Florida with annual revenue exceeding $50 million. During a period of renewed growth for the historic brand, he played an important role in building its retail presence.

At a leading business process outsourcing company, Matt co-led financial operations for the Wireless and Wireline Telecom division. This business unit employs 17,000 people and generates $800 million in annual revenue. During that time, he improved margins by $22 million, removed more than $11 million in billing errors, consolidated 30 billing systems into three centralized platforms, and helped secure over $50 million in new contract revenue.

In 2019, he co-founded a Jacksonville-based venture capital firm and continues to serve as COO/CFO. The organization has grown into 12 operating companies, with more than 1,000 employees working across Clinical Health and Technology Staffing, Technology PMO, Civil Engineering, Construction, and Pediatric Dental and Neurological Medical Research, along with 20 passive investments. Revenue increased from $30 million in 2018 to a projected $200 million by year-end 2026. Throughout his career, Matt Fenner has focused on building scalable organizations, improving operations, and creating sustainable long-term value through disciplined leadership and strategic growth.
