The people behind Dundir
Procurement optimisation in construction is not a software problem you solve by hiring smart generalists. It requires someone who knows how Dutch construction certification structures actually work. Someone who has built production optimisation systems that run in practice. Someone who has spent twenty years selling enterprise software to Dutch municipalities. We have all three.
Christiaan Verhoef
CEO
Project Manager Supply Chain Finance at Windesheim University. Founder of the Value Chain Hackers AI Lab. Co-founder of Tonomy Foundation.
Has contributed to €2 million in fundraising for previous ventures. The Windesheim anchor connects Dundir to the research funding track (RAAK-PRO, KIEM, Horizon Europe) and to the academic credibility that university partnership requires.
Dr. Milan Jelisavčić
CTO
PhD Evolutionary Robotics, VU Amsterdam. Head of AI at Salesteq. Production ML at Stedin (energy market optimisation), bliq (arbitrage optimisation) and ABN AMRO. MSc University of Belgrade.
He didn't learn optimisation theory for this product. He has been building production optimisation systems for years. This is his field, applied to a new problem.
Kirsten Coppoolse
COO
COO at Open Food Chain from 2018 to 2024. Scaled from first employee to more than 20 people, with revenue doubling every year.
Previously built the legal structure, financial model, compliance layer and HR framework for a growing company from scratch.
Dr. Nina Gluhovic
Construction Domain Expert
Assistant Professor Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade. Twelve years of expertise in Dutch and European construction specification standards: CROW RAW, UAV, CPR 2024/3110, KOMO and SKG-IKOB certification structures.
Without her, the objective function of the optimisation engine is a guess. With her, it reflects how Dutch construction procurement actually works.
Gerard Tunteler
Head of Government Sales
Local Government Lead Netherlands at HPE (19 years). Founder of the HPE Round Table for Municipalities, a trusted peer network spanning all 342 Dutch municipalities.
He doesn't need to introduce Dundir to municipalities. He has the relationships, the credibility, and 19 years of context on how public procurement decisions are actually made.
