Partner Esaï is an entrepreneur with a lot of energy and interests. When not running his businesses, he spends most of my time with his young children and family. In the scar’s moments of no obligations at all, he tries to keep up his pilot license with flights within Europe and other parts of the world. His drive for technology started at a very young age, driving family members mad by taking everything apart just to see how things are put together and how they work. After working at Delft University he started his career working for one of the main IT service providers in The Netherlands (Ordina), but he couldn’t settle because entrepreneurship was calling. That is why in 2004, he started Asante IT Services, providing infrastructural consulting services to several banks (ING, ABN), the Dutch Government and medical companies. In 2010 he started developing algorithms for remote sensing and that resulted in the start of Aerinspect B.V. in 2014. Since 2016 Aerinspect has developed SmartSense, one platform to connect and control the client geospatial world, increase efficiencies and expand their capabilities. One platform for a collaborative framework to control your digital assets, processes and workflows, on the cloud or within the clients network.
