Sander Hoogendoorn
iBOOD.com
Sander Hoogendoorn is an independent dad, avid traveler, and lifelong software developer. With over 40 years of hands-on coding experience under his belt, he still ships code every day — because once a developer, always a developer.
Currently the CTO at iBOOD, Sander has led technology at companies such as ANVA, Quby, and Klaverblad, and was once Capgemini’s global agile thought leader. But don’t expect corporate buzzwords — Sander’s known for cutting through the fluff with a post-agile mindset and a healthy disregard for outdated best practices.
He helps teams and organizations break rules that need breaking — replacing heavyweight processes with lightweight thinking, and agile dogma with actual flow. If something’s slowing your team down, chances are he’s already ranted about it in a keynote.
Onstage, Sander brings code, stories, and sharp insights — whether he’s talking disruption, continuous delivery, microservices, monads (yes, really), software architecture, or the lost art of elegant code. His talks are fast-paced, thought-provoking, and never just theory.
Sander believes in small steps, critical thinking, and building stuff that works. No silver bullets. Just better software, made by better teams.
