Robert Hogervorst

​​

For more than 28 years, Robert Hogervorst has built his career around understanding what comes next in technology, and helping organizations determine what it actually means for their business. From analytics and business intelligence to social business, cloud transformation, and now AI, he has consistently worked at the leading edge of technological change. That breadth gives him an uncommon ability to see both the big picture and the details others may overlook.

 

As client partner at 66degrees, a leading AI-native consultancy, Robert works with executives and business leaders to modernize how their organizations operate using data, AI, and cloud technologies. But his approach begins well before discussing platforms or features. He asks questions designed to uncover what an organization is trying to accomplish, how people work today, and where technology can create meaningful improvements for employees, customers, and partners.

 

Robert is deliberately vendor-agnostic. To him, AI itself is not a strategy; it is a tool for advancing the strategy an organization already has. His role is to help clients connect technology investments to outcomes such as growth, efficiency, stronger experiences, and new ways of working.

 

A former client partner at IBM, Robert combines technical perspective with journey mapping, design thinking, product thinking, and organizational transformation. That multidisciplinary background allows him to approach challenges from multiple angles, and, importantly, to ask the questions others often do not. More than implementing technology, Robert sees his work as coaching clients through evolution, helping them make informed decisions and ultimately helping them create greater business impact.
