I’m moving back to Belgium

I have once again taken the lead at both Dropsolid Solutions (consultancy) and Dropsolid AI (product development).

No entrepreneur gets every decision right. Neither do I. In hindsight, splitting the management of Dropsolid Solutions and Dropsolid AI was not the best choice. So I have decided to adjust our course.

We are bringing Dropsolid back under one management team. The original team that built Dropsolid is now building its next chapter. By joining forces, our two teams can move faster, make our operations leaner, and further accelerate AI transformation for our customers.

DrupalCon Rotterdam: building Drupal’s AI future together

Opening DrupalCon, a summit about AI in the real world, and two Splash Awards for our customers. Rotterdam brought a lot together. My biggest takeaway: Drupal has the foundations to make AI useful while keeping people and organisations in control.

We chose to help build Drupal's future. Today, that choice became visible.

In April 2025, there was no Top Tier badge in the plan. There was a conviction that Drupal needed coordinated investment in AI. Today, Dropsolid's recognition makes that choice visible.

What Top Tier really means

Dropsolid is now listed as a Top Tier Drupal Certified Partner. I am genuinely proud of that. Not simply because we have reached the highest level in the Drupal Certified Partner Program, but because of what this recognition measures.

The CMS is unbundling. The DXP is rebundling.

AI makes execution cheap. It makes context, coordination, governance and sovereignty more valuable.

The CMS is being unbundled into a control plane and an execution plane. Follow that logic across the full customer experience and something else becomes visible: the DXP is being rebundled as the shared control plane for an organisation’s digital promise.

From Athens to Rotterdam: Why Drupal AI Needs an "Athena" Release

Some places do not merely offer a view. They give you direction. Athens did that to me. During Drupal Dev Days, I found myself looking at the Acropolis from a distance. The Parthenon was there, standing above the city, glowing with a presence that is difficult to describe if you have not seen it in person.

Drupal Is No Longer Just a CMS Decision. It’s an AI Infrastructure Decision.

Agents need somewhere to live. And once content becomes data, the CMS that holds it becomes strategic.

Founder Doubt: Is Building Websites Really Worth a Life?

Lately I’ve been asking myself a question that many founders probably recognize but rarely say out loud: Is this problem really important enough?

Becoming the Intelligent Open Digital Experience Company

In the Dropsolid diaries series, I talk in-depth about the journey of Dropsolid company that has Drupal at its core. It contains Drupal insights, company insights, personal experiences, DXP and CMS market insights, and many other learnings I learned as the founder of Dropsolid & Dropsolid AI.

(Note: I usually don't post the Dropsolid Diaries post to the Drupal planet but this time I believe it contains valuable business insights that matter for Drupal.)

Owning the Stack in the AI Decade

A confession: I used to think “lock‑in” was the price of speed. You picked a big suite, signed the contract, and got on with the real work. Then I watched too many teams hit the same wall: costs up, agility down, compliance headaches, mysterious AI we couldn’t inspect, and “exit clauses” that weren’t exits.

In the last few years, especially as AI took center stage, I changed my mind. The stack you own is the only stack that scales with you. That’s why I advocate Mautic inside an open DXP with Drupal and a CDP. It’s not about software tribalism. It’s about strategy.

DEEP: The Post-Platform OS for Intelligent Experience Ecosystems

The digital experience industry is at a crossroads. We’ve spent the past decade evolving from simple CMS websites to full-fledged Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs) that promised to manage every touchpoint. Yet, as we stand in 2025, it’s clear that the next leap forward won’t come from yet another all-in-one platform. It will come from a new philosophy altogether. I call this new paradigm DEEP, or Digital Experience Enablement Platform. At its core, DEEP is about moving from delivering static, vendor-defined platforms to enabling dynamic, intelligent ecosystems.
