"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
