Peter van den Bos

Peter van den Bos

Peter van den Bos is a Business Intelligence Consultant, speaker, and founder of Dutch BI Geek. For over a decade, he has helped organizations get a better grip on their data – making Power BI not just look good, but also run fast and make sense. With deep expertise in data modeling and DAX, Peter has a talent for explaining complex topics clearly and with energy.

He shares his insights through blogs, vlogs, and training sessions, always with one goal in mind: helping others make better, smarter decisions with data. Expect practical tips, performance tweaks, and well-grounded advice – straight from the field. His sessions are a favorite among controllers, analysts, and BI professionals who want to understand what’s really going on under the hood.

When he’s not training or presenting, you’ll find him tweaking data models just for fun, deliberately slowing down DAX queries (so he can fix them), or stress-testing visualizations like it’s a competitive sport. His Dutch-language YouTube channel is a playground for anyone with a passion for Power BI – or anyone ready to embrace their inner data nerd.

30 years building tools that add hours back to a clinician's day
CEO at RealActivity | AI Pioneer | BOSHUG Founder | Microsoft Keynoter

I've spent my career at the intersection of healthcare and technology, not talking about AI transformation, but actually building it. In 2001, I designed a symbolic AI triage engine that eliminated pre-op anesthesia visits and accelerated same-day surgery pathways.

In 2023, my team shipped RealActivity Physician Activity Copilot, the world's first AI harness focused on hospital administration. And 2024, we shipped Wheelhouse, a model fine-tuned on PeopleSoft healthcare operations data and executive prompt workflows.

What happened in between? I trained 3,000+ engineers across GE, IDX, and Microsoft in enterprise software patterns. I migrated 50+ HIPAA workloads to Azure. I built the CMS compliance and activity reporting platforms that health systems still rely on. I earned Microsoft MVP recognition and was named Azure Most Influential, not for evangelism, but for implementation.

Today I'm CEO & Chief AI Officer at RealActivity, a boutique Microsoft partner delivering mission-critical AI for academic medical centers and health systems across the Northeast. Our focus? Tracking system wide clinical time (cFTE), CMS complaint AI, and improving operational efficiency, the problems that keep CMOs and CMIOs up at night. I'm also the founder of OCS Labs, an AI lab building industry-specific AI for government, and sectors where getting it wrong isn't an option.

I founded BOSHUG, the Boston Healthcare Cloud & AI Community, which has grown into a global network serving 40k. I'm a Cloud Wars healthcare AI analyst, a top 3% rated global speaker (Microsoft Ignite, Cloud Wars, and beyond).

Global citizen based in Greater Boston. When I'm not building healthcare AI, you'll find me at a Sicilian bakery arguing about lemon cake, sailing, snowboarding, diving, or planning the next adventure. 114 countries, and counting.
