“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.”
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.
