Co-founder

Axel Segers

With SmartAgents I help organisations put AI to work where it actually pays off. Together with Tom Haeldermans we build AI agents that take over repetitive work, train teams to work with them themselves and place AI-native engineers in running projects. Not a proof of concept that ends up in a drawer, but work that runs in production and keeps running after we leave.

About me

That approach comes from more than 25 years of building software companies. I founded JArchitects and grew it into a team of more than fifty consultants, which through partnerships and acquisitions became part of We+ Benelux. What I learned there about growth, building teams and technology that has to work every day, I now put to work for SmartAgents' clients.
