About Patrik
Patrik is the co-founder and the beating heart of the company. Aside from work, Patrik has great interests in nature and people photography, rock festivals, exploring new cultures and driving in classic car rallies.
With over 30 years of experience in the international IT industry, Patrik has brought vast entrepreneurial, technical and business qualifications to pwrteams to become an award-winning company backed by over 450 team members. Born and raised in Belgium, Patrik has always been driven by the joy of creation, attracted by the unknown, inspiring challenges and finding creative ways to transform ideas into businesses that have an impact.
Together with his Belgian co-entrepreneurs, Patrik founded Skelia as a new venture in 2008. In 2022 Skelia joined forces with Nortal company under a brand pwrteams. Anticipating changing company needs originating from the financial crisis that same year and continued IT talent shortage, a transparent business model was crafted with the goal of solving traditional outsourcing roadblocks, such as employee turnover, cultural differences, management overheads and evolving needs. A remarkable business experience was born, being as close as possible to having your own employees, as if pwrteams builds and operates a new nearshore customer office.
Prior to pwrteams, Patrik held international executive positions at Accenture, DXC, CGI and Econocom. He was actively involved in corporate turnarounds, mergers, acquisitions, and divestments. Patrik has also successfully launched several startups and became a seed investor.
He holds a Master’s degree in Engineering & Computer Sciences from the University of Leuven, Belgium.
