About me

I'm Xander Groesbeek—15+ years shipping products, leading teams, and driving change across consulting, corporate (NASDAQ-listed), and startup environments.
I operate independently with minimal overhead. Give me a problem, access to stakeholders, and I'll deliver a roadmap, a working prototype, or a scaled solution—whatever the situation requires. I'm equally comfortable in a board meeting discussing strategy or in a technical design session reviewing architecture.
What I bring
Technical fluency. I read code, understand system design, and can challenge your engineering team on architecture decisions. No translation layer needed between me and your developers.
Business acumen. I connect technical decisions to commercial outcomes. I've built business cases, managed P&Ls, and grown a startup from first hire to 15 FTE.
Execution speed. I work methodologically—hypotheses mapped by certainty and impact, rapid experiments, honest validation. No analysis paralysis.
Global track record
I've delivered across continents: Singapore (APAC consulting), San Francisco (startup scouting), Saudi Arabia (telco transformation), and multiple European markets. I understand how to navigate different organizational cultures and stakeholder dynamics.
On digital sovereignty
I practice what I preach. My own startups run on 100% EU infrastructure—no US cloud providers, no third-party analytics that phone home. When I advise on data sovereignty, it comes from hands-on implementation experience, not theory.
