Profile

I build AI agents for boards and governance. People stay in charge.

My agents prepare decisions; a person demonstrably decides. I also chair the board of PCD Investment Partners. Before that I spent more than twelve years in military and police special operations.

About

Now
AI agents for boards and governance: the agent prepares, a person demonstrably decides.
Board
Chair of the board of PCD Investment Partners.
Built
pcdOS, a platform I built. At PCD Investment Partners, AI uses it to prepare the research, the investment memos and the answers to investors; a person decides. In use since November 2025.
Before
More than twelve years in military and police special operations. That is where my way of working comes from: say plainly what is going on, and own the outcome.

Recommendation

What a fellow board member says.

“What sets Niels apart is his proactive attitude. He continuously spots opportunities to improve processes and genuinely takes initiative. He gets to grips with new subject matter quickly; if he doesn't yet know something, he makes sure he understands it. On top of that, he brings not only substantive knowledge but energy and innovation.”

Disclosure: Coby is a co-founder of PCD Investment Partners, where I chair the board. The recommendation is translated from Dutch; read the original on LinkedIn.
