Rogier is an entrepreneur who practically applies new AI technology in the fashion industry. Under his leadership, Resleeve, the world's fastest-growing AI-driven fashion design tool, has raised €3 million in seed funding and attracted 140,000 designers within just six months, working with major names like Adidas, H&M, and Zara.
Rogier not only talks about innovation, he is actively executing it. He has proven his ability to turn vision into tangible results, making him both an inspiring speaker and an effective leader.
Rogier began his IT career at Experis Manpower as an IT consultant, having already achieved success with ventures in fashion and music. After Experis Manpower, he started a B2B SaaS company that connected food suppliers directly with consumers, which resulted in a successful exit after two years. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, he founded the first B2B mobile COVID testing service in the Netherlands, a groundbreaking initiative that helped companies operate safely and efficiently. This venture also became a great success.
As early as 2019, Rogier began working on projects involving Generative Artificial Intelligence, the technology behind ChatGPT, well before the current AI hype. Ultimately, he combined his expertise from various domains to launch Resleeve. Resleeve quickly established itself as a market leader thanks to the unique application of generative AI in fashion design and marketing. The tool enables users to design and promote fashion products in an innovative and efficient manner, resulting in significant time and cost savings for companies.
With his deep knowledge of artificial intelligence, Rogier helps companies create new products and optimize existing processes. His expertise encompasses strategic planning, product development, and go-to-market strategies. This combination of technical expertise, accessible communication, and business acumen makes him an inspiring and influential speaker.
His lectures are aimed at inspiring managers, entrepreneurs, and employees to leverage technology in innovative ways. By highlighting new perspectives with the help of technology, he helps others intrinsically think of new business opportunities. Through practical examples and deep insights, he knows how to engage and motivate his audience to take action.
Rogier has completed studies in economics and software engineering and continuously keeps himself updated on the latest developments in AI. Besides his professional activities, he is passionate about sports and enjoys running, mountain biking, (kick)boxing, and MMA.
