Technology
Niels Meersschaert started coding at age 7 on an Apple II. He has had a passion for using technology to help people for decades. His background spans the gamut from startups to large corporations. He’s worked on the global e-commerce platform for Gucci, built the search engine and video hosting setup for BusinessWeek, designed and led teams building large scale artificial intelligence data processing used for ad-targeting and led technology for the banking practice at McKinsey & Company. He has a patent in natural language processing used in ad targeting & has been developing AI solutions for more than 15 years.
Motorcycles
Niels has been riding motorcycles for nearly 30 years. He has had bikes ranging from vintage bikes like his 1972 BMW R75/5 to sport bikes, cruisers, and even scooters. But, adventure bikes are probably his favorite & he is always looking for new dirt to get under the tires.
He hosts and produces a podcast about motorcycling called Throttle and Roast.
