Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Conveo
📍 Belgium

Hendrik is the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Conveo, an AI-powered qualitative research platform backed by Y Combinator (S24). He previously worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company, focusing on AI projects and market research for private equity clients, and started his career in investment banking at Morgan Stanley.

Outside of his professional life, Hendrik is passionate about both technology and kitesurfing. He is based in Antwerp, Belgium, where he is focused on scaling Conveo and enabling companies to make more user-informed decisions through advanced AI.

Unique fact: Hendrik applied to Y Combinator with just an idea for Conveo—no name, no product, and no customers—and successfully secured a spot in their S24 batch.
