The Freedom of Connecting

infinite.company is transforming the ICT eco-system. It changes everything assumed as "normal". We have a disruptive business model of profit sharing between customers and members. Completely open and transparent, more customer centric an customer-friendly. We use technology to operate a "network and market"-place at a lower cost than traditional integrators, passing the profits of lower rates to customers and increasing rates of traditional companies by using a new way of working. Customers have average savings of 17% on their rates and ICT freelancers and companies will have steady, strong returns in return of a fixed membership fee. The beta-solution of infinite.company has earned among the highest satisfaction ratings in the industry.
At infinite.company one of our values is “Freedom”. We like our members to connect and to form the strongest team possible to face customer challenges.
This means we think about what affects the way we work and we try to optimize to be more productive.
It means stepping a way in your thinking that working directly with a customer and bringing in only your capacity is the right answer ... we collaborate, connect and share.
We’ve had a number of occasions where we’ve been at full capacity and feeling overwhelmed, and after a brainstorm figured out how to do more if we share with other members we had more time and productivity and the customer a cheaper and better solution.
With freedom ... You choose to work directly with your customer or share your opportunity with the infinite.company. Whatever makes you happy is fine by us but we challenge you to share and not being afraid on your so called competitors. There’s plenty of fish in the sea.
Don’t be the unhappy shark. I’m convinced if you surround yourself with other infinite.company members you will achieve more, as an individual and as a company… and you will be proud to be a member of infinite.company and are willing to put the label on your site and marketing stuff.

About me

First of all I am a father of 4 children: Esmée (15), Elise (13), Laurens (9) and Lyam (7). They taught me trust, loyalty, and unconditional love. We grew into a strong and tight team. Organically. No one set the rules or gave us a manual to cope with our challenges. I studied Computer Science, Strategy and Organization. The first 11 years of my “career”, that’s how they call it out there, I started working at a Big Belgian Bank. I had the notion the bigger the “Bank”, the more efficient and sophisticated it would be. My internal drive was to grow the Bank to become the best Bank in Belgium. I can safely say, because they probably will agree, I did not succeed. I learned big institutions suffer from horrible internal politics, hire expensive consultants to determine where to go next, try to change, when most change-projects from the past decades ended with partial completions and frustration in boardrooms. So did some of my “change”-ideas. 
I’m passionate about doing whatever it takes to make individuals and organizations excel. I will make sure that your t's are crossed and your i's are dotted, and that you aren't blind-sided by day-to-day issues. I keep your focus on your core business priorities, knowing that we both believe that your own passion is the easiest way to develop a successful business.
That’s why my personal goal is to help individuals and organizations in their development. That's what infinite.company is all about. I combine fun, improvement and inspiration to achieve results and added value for my customers. I enjoy supporting individuals and organizations by sharing knowledge. Combining my passion for ICT with my enthusiasm for professional development and entrepreneurial management created a lot of opportunities for myself and the people around me. I love my job and feel blessed to have the opportunity to blend my outside interests into my career.

After the bank, I worked as a technologist and consultant for many companies. The biggest challenge was to find ways to express my ideas on business and economic development to these companies. I began to detect that I think on another level and have a rule-set that cannot be explained. The best description for my entrepreneurial thinking I have found is called “Effectuation”.
The best fit in the form of a company structure I found at Cronos in 2007. I was involved in 24 start-ups 'till i phased out.

So I decided to focus on what drives me and my passion, the support of freelancers and starting entrepreneurs in making their dreams come true. Or changing established companies in agile, flexible companies. To the point: I started the infinite.company.

It is our task to challenge. The end result is our economy will grow, and regenerate. So let’s create it together. Let's start with a lean Core! Subscribe now at infinite.company
