Early life

Over the next 12 years, Hendrikse held a series of C-level positions including Chief Revenue Officer of ERP software maker Acumatica,[7] CEO of SaaS contact center MightyCall,[8] and supporting the initial global Go-to-Market for Atera,[9] a B2B SaaS Unicorn. Stijn also supported some companies as a B2B SaaS Fractional Executive.[10]

He currently leads revenue growth for Browzwear and serves on the board of directors of several tech companies,[11][12] as well as on that of Kalungi, the B2B SaaS marketing agency he founded in June 2018. [13][14]

In addition, he founded Amy,[15] an AI-powered conversation platform.

Works

To help entrepreneurs and SaaS startups learn from his experience, Hendrikse authored T2D3: How some software startups scale, where many fail.[16]
