Leadership

Mark-Jan Harte

Co-founder & CEO

Mark-Jan founded Aidence in 2015, more than 20 years after completing a Master's degree in Computer Science at the Technical University Eindhoven. This path led him to occupy various roles in software, including finance, consumer software, and machine learning consultancy. Founding multiple companies in the technology sector, he developed a strong interest in AI and started seeing the opportunity deep learning offered to healthcare in 2015.

Jeroen van Duffelen

Co-founder & CBO

Jeroen's entrepreneurial spirit led him to teach himself software engineering and start his own company commercialising an online education platform. He then tried his hand in the US startup ecosystem, where he joined a rapidly scaling cloud company. Jeroen returned to Amsterdam to run a high-tech incubator for academic research institutes. Here, Jeroen first got his taste for applying AI to healthcare. In 2015, he founded Aidence together with Mark-Jan Harte.

Bas Giltay

Head of Product

Bas has a 15+ years track record delivering digital products for big brands in healthcare and finance. With a background in technology management and organisational psychology, he is on a mission to make the world a bit better with innovative digital products and support others who are on the same mission.

Hans van der Zande

Hans combines analytical and strategic thinking with a strong business sense. He brings over 15 years of experience in management consulting and finance in mid-size and scale-up companies across multiple sectors, including media, software development, and multi-channel fashion and consumer brands. He is also no stranger to raising (bank) financing and working with private equity investors. Hans' drive is making an impact on Aidence's daily business and longer-term direction, both financially and operationally.

Joris Wakkie

Chief Medical Officer

Joris worked as a doctor at the St. Antonius hospital, spending one year in cardiology and two years working in internal medicine. Afterwards, he decided to challenge himself in business and worked for Microsoft as a consultant. He met Jeroen at a previous business venture, where his passion for medicine and business led him to join Aidence. He is now involved in all medical aspects of the company, including product strategy, certification, and clinical studies. Joris loves to play the jazz piano.

Leon Doorn

Head of Regulatory Affairs

Leon started working with Aidence in 2017. After finalising his bachelor's in nursing, and having worked as a nurse, he found that there is a lot of room for improvement within healthcare that cannot be achieved when working within a healthcare organisation. Therefore, he went on to study health sciences at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. After his studies, he worked as a consultant in the medical device industry for more than six years, writing technical documentation and implementing quality systems. The opportunities and challenges associated with AI made him decide to join Aidence to help further improve healthcare.
