Our Team
Founder-Pieter Bols
Pieter is an engineer by heart who loves to build things and solve problems. In the beginning of his professional career, he got his energy from solving business problems and making portfolio companies grow. The real interesting challenge came in the past 7 years where, together with the CEO, he built a group of IT consultancy companies called Tech Tribes. Getting people to work together for a common cause, while maintaining entrepreneurship and DNA is one of the most interesting “problems to solve”
Next to his professional aspirations, Pieter is first and foremost a father of 2 young daughters and husband to this wife. He currently lives in Antwerp and has a strong connection to the Netherlands after his time in Amsterdam. Taking up new challenges and trying to push boundaries in sports such as triathlon and cycling is something he loves. If there is some time left, he is always in for a good Belgian beer with friends.
With CSU he aims to make an entrepreneurial step and combine his experiences in an interesting new sector. Based on the past experiences and with the intention of making a difference together with entrepreneurs.
