Dr. Mark van Rijmenam

“This was an awe-inspiring session with Mark van Rijmenam and Nestlé leaders. We are very grateful for him sparking curiosity and sharing a glimpse of what the metaverse entails, and the fact that some elements are not tomorrow but today. Mark captures the audience's attention with his simple messages and engaging content. Time for questions felt short, testament of the interest of the audience; we could have stayed another 30 minutes… A must to re-watch and spread the word on how we prepare for the metaverse.”

“Really enjoyed hosting Mark as a fascinating guest speaker at our internal LIFT Academy talk on the metaverse, as part of our Frontier Tech Trilogy. Mark shared great examples of how the metaverse will affect our people our work and our clients. He managed to explain an abstract concept in a thought-provoking way, inspiring us how to think differently when it comes to the next iteration of the internet. ”

"Mark is very knowledgeable on the subject of Big Data and has the capability of explaining complex matter in laymen’s terms. I have worked with him in different settings, most recently organizing a business event where Mark was the main speaker. The roadmap he spoke about, from his book ‘Think Bigger’, has proven to help organizations in developing their own strategy. Mark is a great presenter who is able to show the audience where we are at today and also gives the public an insight into a possible and very likely future. He is ranked as one of the top Big Data influencers for a good reason. If you have a strategic Big Data challenge or an event around Big Data I can highly recommend Mark."

“Recently, Mark provided a state-of-the-art lecture to our most senior MBA participants. What I found remarkable is his deep expertise on the future of work and the metaverse and how he is able to explain these abstract concepts in an easy-to-understand yet thought-provoking way. The session was highly interactive and he showed us some glimpses of his forthcoming book 'Step into the Metaverse.' Preparing for the future has always been relevant, and I think Mark is the right person to stimulate organizations and individuals to do just that when it comes to technology and society.”

“The session went great, he talked about open AI and people were very engaged and sharing their experiences in the chat, so was a lot of fun.”

"I know Mark a true expert in the field of Big Data, 'the oil of the 21st century'. Mark was one of the key note speakers at the National Publishing Day 2014, organized by the dutch b2b platform Mediafacts. His 45 minute speech on how publishers should strategically approach 'Big Data' was well received; it got high scores in our post event online summary. Mark knows the way in the complicated 'Big Data' landscape and is able to serve companies from different sectors well when the aim is setting up a Big Data strategy and providing the means to implement it."

“Mark was our keynote speaker at a recent Dealer Tire Enterprise Data Analytics Summit. His presentation was highly relevant and very inspirational. He incorporated many examples throughout his talk and tied them directly back to our business. Perfect pace, excellent delivery, great content. I would highly recommend Mark as a speaker, particularly for anything related to cutting-edge tech strategy. ”

"In januari 2013 heeft Mark van Rijmenam gesproken op de nieuwjaarsreceptie van de Kennisalliantie. Met flair sprak hij over Big Data. Aan de hand van diverse concrete voorbeelden maakte hij duidelijk dat Big Data al lang geen sciencefiction meer is maar realiteit.

Ondanks het lastige onderwerp wist hij de 150 aanwezigen helder uit te leggen wat Big Data is, en wat het kan betekenen voor organisaties. Met een ogenschijnlijk gemak wist hij de diverse spontane vragen uit het publiek te beantwoorden.

Zijn verhaal was duidelijk gestructureerd met tal van interessante feiten waarmee hij het belang van Big Data duidelijk maakte. De vele voorbeelden die hij noemde maakte het voor de aanwezigen tastbaar en begrijpelijk. Veel gehoorde reacties waren dat ze hierdoor inzagen wat de potentie van Big Data is, en wat de impact er van is op de organisateis en de maatschappij.

Na zijn verhaal bleven de aanwezigen nog lang naprotan voordat zij geïnspireerd naar huis gingen."

"I invited Mark to join one of our International Congress like main speaker, BigData2015 World Insights. As a person he is great to treat, responsable and compromised human. As a leader he shared his knowledge with all attendees and us like organizers. After the event the attendees satisfaction survey showed Mark had one of the best congress conferences and the majority of them wanted him back for our next congress version. This shows the professional and important knowledge he can share. His pitch involve people and invite them to connect with the congress topic."
