Gilbert Eijkelenboom — Co-Founder

But translating insights into decisions… That’s a different game. In 2015, I presented insights to a group of marketers. I expected: Applause. Approval. Action. But nothing happened. Today, I see the same pattern across data teams: Today, I see the same pattern across data teams: • Strong technically • Low influence on decisions • Seen as support instead of strategic partners That’s why I founded MindSpeaking. We help data leaders turn their teams into trusted business partners who influence decisions. How we work: Start with one team.
