MrCTO, Gert Schepens

What I hear a lot: nobody owns our technology, we build a lot but not the right things, or the team works hard but nothing ships. Then you're missing a CTO, a product owner or an agile coach.

15 years of technology, product and teams, from scale‑ups to government.

Where I step in

What I do depends on where it's stuck. The goal is always the same: what your business wants and what your team builds, pulling in the same direction again.

  1. CTO

    Nobody owns our technology.

    I become the technical owner: architecture, security and GDPR, the right place for AI, the team and who you hire. You focus on the business.

  2. Product owner

    We build a lot, but not the right things.

    I help decide what gets built, in what order and why, and translate between customers, business and developers.

  3. Agile coach

    The team works hard, but nothing ships.

    I make the work visible, remove the friction nobody names and help the team deliver again.

Not advice from the sidelines. I do the work.

Heldlab

A founder with a strong product vision and a technical foundation that kept stalling it: scattered services, open questions about health data, AI and GDPR. I took over the entire backend. Heldlab is live, and the founder is back to focusing on product and growth.
