Ronald van Woensel (1961) is a T-shaped serial entrepreneur with broad experience in all aspects of ICT. He has over 35 years experience as founder, entrepreneur, manager, analyst, designer, developer and consultant but still can get excited while hacking on a piece of software until it works.

He is currently CTO of inBeacon. Inbeacon enables a unique customer experience in stores and shopping centers using iBeacon technology.

He is also mentoring startups of incubator utrechtinc.nl as Entrepreneur in Residence.

Primarily a bootstrap entrepreneur, but he succeeded in closing various seed and series-A investment rounds for his companies that needed a faster growth path. This strategy resulted in a number of very successful exits in the past.

In the past, Ronald was founder of LocusWMS, the leading warehouse management system used by companies like GAP store, Wehkamp, Blokker Holding, Quickstep/unilin, EXEL logisitics, Alcatel-lucent, HEMA and Etam group. After starting Locus in a garage he was able to expand this into a multinational sector leader with 75 people before selling it in 2003. The disruptive technology of Locus gave early adaptors an edge to their respective fullfillment and distribution infrastructure capabilities. Nowadays the Locus technology is commonly found in all logistic systems.
