– Cindy Gordon, CEO SalesChoice

 ‘This quote from Rosabeth Kanter sums up what Ton does: ‘Leaders must wake people out of inertia. They must get people excited about something they’ve never seen before, something that does not yet exist.’

– David Griffiths, CEO Fiscal Technologies

We’re trying to figure out the best way to go forward on our Startup journey.  I’ve been following Ton for a very long time and find a lot of his posts very useful, especially because it’s so B2B and SaaS oriented. There are just not many resources out there that are so specific to B2B SaaS. Sadly, it’s rare.

– Caroline Johnová, CEO Wagmi Guide

This man is a wealth of knowledge and experience and has an incredible way of pulling groups of professionals together to create a safe space for discussing obstacles and business problems in a way that encourages the group to help find solutions to assist each other.

A great mentor and wonderful personality.

– Juan Antonio Fernández, CEO Ekon

Ton is a quality individual who is both expert in his knowledge and engaging in his personality.

– Peter O'Rourke - Vice President Sales - EMEA & Enterprise at Deltek

Ton knows the storyteller’s secret – that’s for sure. Since the first time I saw him on stage, I was captivated by his ability to turn product features and implementation details into relevant, exciting stories that matter to people. And backstage, I was amazed by the depth of his knowledge and the sheer endless enthusiasm he puts into his work. I consider myself very fortunate, having worked alongside Ton, having been inspired by him, and having seen him pushing the boundaries over and over again. Ton lives technology evangelism, and in a world of digital noise, it’s definitely needed.

– Christian Weichelt, CMO Cyncly
