Discover a new perspective on learning in the A.I. era. Jeroen speaks plain language, gives inspiring examples from his own 'practice what you preach' approach and knows how to touch people with them.
Jeroen Krouwels (1964) graduated as an educationalist in the late 1980s, specialising in modern foreign languages. A career as a language teacher was an obvious choice, but things turned out differently. He developed from a complete digital illiterate to an ICT teacher and became co-owner at an ICT Training Institute, where he joined the management board at 33. He changed the company from a classroom training institute to an EdTech company when he saw in the late 1990s that computers were starting to explain themselves at the dawn of the e-learning era. Over the past 10 years he has been involved in several start-ups and advises organisations in education and L&D on the applications of AI.
He has experienced first-hand what digital transformation means and how to lead it, but also what the development of technology means for what, where, when and how we learn. And like no other, he knows from his own experience the struggles new technology can cause teachers and trainers. For more than 15 years, he has been involved as a guest lecturer in the post-bachelor E-learning at the Foundation for Corporate Education (Kessels & Smit) and in various course programmes of SBO-Euroforum. From his own company Krouwels Management BV, he helps organisations with innovations at the interface of learning and technology (EdTech) and provides lectures and workshops on AI. He is co-owner and advisor at two international EdTech companies (hihaho.com and xXenta.com). Jeroen also makes the podcast 'Man and technology' together with futurist Randall van Poelvoorde, about the impact of technology on people and society.

"Jeroen has a beating heart for education, sound knowledge about digitalisation and an infectious enthusiasm to inspire and captivate on stage. I got to know Jeroen at the Speakersclub where he showed he takes the speaking profession seriously and has rapidly developed into a top speaker. Highly recommended!"
Head of Consultancy at FranklinCovey Benelux
"When Jeroen takes the microphone you sit up straight. Enthusiastic and energetic, he outlines his vision of learning, training and technology. Where the sector has long lagged behind in the use of technology, Jeroen shows that the tide is turning. In doing so, he comes up with concrete, applicable advice and solutions. With Jeroen, you get an inspiring expert in house!"
Strategist Noordhoff Care
"I know Jeroen as a very passionate speaker. I have had the opportunity to see him speak several times and he is able to engage his audience through both his personal experiences and his broad knowledge from literature. His views on education and the possibilities of technology within education are very inspiring to me. His view and the way he conveys it make even the most tenured teacher think about his added value within education. Highly recommended when it comes to getting education moving!"
Coordinator of part-time courses Avans University of Applied Sciences
"When Jeroen walked into our office, I knew immediately; he is going to make it as a professional speaker! I grant every (educational) organisation a speech by Jeroen. Why? Because his message is desperately needed to take ownership of the future. Because you will never forget his story, he lards his message with humour and that...makes him an unrivalled speaker. Book it!"
International speaker and author on resilience & leadership, co-founder Speakersclub
"Jeroen was one of the participants in Talk Like a Pro who I immediately knew: that's going to be a good speaker. And now he is. With a great speech about AI in education and L&D, with enormous flair and a good dose of humour. In short, one to book for your (education or L&D) event!"
International Keynote Speaker & Co-founder Drawify and Speakersclub
"Jeroen is one of the most powerful innovators/disrupters I have met in my career. Combined with a strong commercial-content drive, he has taken many innovative ideas and (start-up) companies to the next level. He is a great guy to work with and has a real talent for connecting with people."
