Wouter van den Brande

Founding GTM at Decagon (FTE #12), where he leads the largest AI deployments as sales director. Previously enterprise AE at Rockset (acq’d by OpenAI). Earlier at Fourthline, where he started and led the BDR team before moving into enterprise sales. He is also a scout for Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
