ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Build the idea.
I co-founded Dutch Art Events and worked across its brand, website, partnerships and live-event operations. With Thijs de Wit, I'm building Stage Up Ecosystem, an event collaboration platform still in development.
INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT / SWITZERLAND
Commercial sense.
Hands-on AI.
I'm Pieter Thomas Vermaas. I combine entrepreneurship, premium automotive and Rotterdam harbour experience with advanced AI. I write code, set up local AI and agents, and automate workflows so teams can do more, move faster and serve customers better—with a human touch.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT / AI SYSTEMS / CUSTOMER SERVICE
CONSULTING / WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
Clear thinking.
Real follow-through.
I connect commercial judgement with hands-on delivery: finding the opportunity, building useful AI systems and keeping people at the centre of the work.
Commercial development
Customer relationships, partner outreach and focused growth projects.
AI systems & automation
Coding, local AI setups and AI agent workflows built around real tasks, from first setup to practical use.
Customer service
Using AI to take repetitive work out of customer service, giving teams more time for human conversations.
Digital & venture delivery
Websites, content and digital projects taken from concept through delivery.
EXPERIENCE / ONE COMMERCIAL THREAD
Different worlds.
One way of working.
Entrepreneurship taught me to build from zero. Automotive sharpened my focus on customers and commercial detail. Work around the Rotterdam harbour grounded me in technical B2B needs and operating reality. That mix now shapes how I build practical AI for business.
PREMIUM AUTOMOTIVE
Know the customer.
At Zeeuw Automotive and Dubbelsteyn BMW/MINI, I worked in sales, marketing and business development, combining customer relationships with digital strategy.
Dealership experience; manufacturer marks shown for context.
ROTTERDAM HARBOUR
Understand the operation.
At Pols/Botlek Stores and Vopak, I worked with technical B2B sales and commercial analysis, including ship data and rebate work.
Commercial experience in the port environment.
DIGITAL PROJECT WORK
Digital project consultant
Website work, LinkedIn visuals and digital content for Dirk Schiffner's direct-selling projects.
The common thread: understand the work, build what helps and use AI to move faster without losing human judgement.
SWITZERLAND / CURRENT FOCUS
Based here.
Building from here.
Switzerland is where I'm building my consulting practice and completing an MSc in Business Administration, Innovation & Entrepreneurship at HSLU. I bring Dutch commercial and venture experience together with advanced AI, coding and automation for opportunities here and across borders.
