01 ABOUT ME

Think big.
Make it happen.

Adriaan Rijkens

For me, it starts with a problem worth solving. Bringing people together, setting a direction and building something that makes a difference.

At KLM, I lead product teams building technology that makes Hub Operations more efficient and effective. My experience spans large organisations like Ayvens and bol. and founding my own company, Warp VR. I combine an entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to get things done at scale.

I bring experience from both entrepreneurship and large organizations. I understand the energy of building fast and the complexity of making things happen together. Now, I’m exploring how AI is changing the way we build products.
