Our Faculty









Andrew Evanswas diagnosed with choroidal melanoma in May of 2013.  At the time, he was working as a bioinformatician, developing analysis pipelines for genetic diagnostics in cancer research (ironically enough).  

In his professional life, as Chief Product Officer at Dutch startup StartMonday, a Startupbootcamp alumni company, Andrew has been deeply immersed in the latest startup business practices.

Andrew brings a decade of Agile experience from consulting- as both a hands-on project lead and as a trainer in Agile processes for large corporates as well as highly-regarded digital business programs through Hyper Island and The Talent Institute. He has also served as a mentor and organizer for Lean Startup Machine - a global 3-day bootcamp program that takes startups from ideas to customers.

Since his own diagnosis, Andrew has striven to help other patients make sense of the complexities of their diagnoses, through active participation on social media and by writing a blog that attempts to explain cancer concepts in accessible terms.  He moved to The Netherlands in 2014, and subsequently became actively involved with the Melanoma Patients Network Europe. As both a scientist and a patient, Mr. Evans holds a unique perspective on the disease experience.










Otto Freijser ​loves to challenge people to think differently, to solve problems creatively and to help others succeed.


As a self-proclaimed Lean Innovation Evangelist, he is the co-founder of Perpetulon, a management consultancy for business innovation. Otto also directly coaches young start-ups and is member of the Dutch Lean Startup Circle, a platform initially created for like minded individuals to get together and talk about the Lean Startup philosophy and today, to explore and test both old and new startup principles.
