Innovation Strategy Director, KPN
Jan Rijk Vonk
With over a decade of experience as a strategist and innovator at KPN, the Dutch Telecom incumbent, Jan Rijk fathered projects such as the API Store and the IoT Academy, connecting corporate silos with natural ease. He is a creative, out-of-the-box thinker who can shift paradigms in order to create value propositions for a company. Jan-Rijk has been a robotics aficionado within the telco space for the last few years.
Having grown up in a rural area, Jan Rijk has a soft spot for anything AgTech. Although educated in Business Administration, Economics, Philosophy and Sociology, he remained true to the geek part within himself. Jan-Rijk truly believes we could create a world of abundance with new technology – for example, combining 5G with robotics. There is one prerequisite in order to do so: the only way forward is sharing, be open but do not give away corporate secrets.
