Companies of Agents

How agentic AI is rewriting the operating model of every organisation

More detailed information

The next wave of AI isn’t about better chatbots. It’s about AI agents that plan, decide, and execute — transforming how companies operate from the inside out. 


Renout van Hove takes the audience beyond the hype of “agentic AI” and into the reality: what agent architectures look like, how they’re already reshaping workflows in energy trading, customer service, and financial operations, and what happens to your org chart when software starts making decisions. 


Drawing from his experience building agent-based systems at PerPetum Energy and SiNergy, Renout shows what works, what fails, and what every leadership team needs to decide before competitors do. 


What the audience takes away: 


  • The difference between copilots, assistants, and true AI agents — and why it matters 

  • Real examples of multi-agent systems in production (not demos, not prototypes) 

  • The governance challenge: who is accountable when an agent makes a decision? 

  • How to identify the first 3 agent use cases in your organisation 

  • The “Companies of Agents” operating model: fewer layers, faster decisions, humans where it matters most

Renout van Hove doesn’t just advise on AI — he builds with it, every day. 


As AI Accelerator at PerPetum Energy, one of Belgium’s leading renewable energy companies (600MW+ capacity), he built over 20 internal applications using AI in the past year alone. Not prototypes. Production tools that changed how a 50-person organisation operates. 


That hands-on experience is what separates his keynotes from the typical consultant talk. When Renout speaks about AI transformation, he’s sharing what he’s learned from actually doing it — at scale, in a regulated industry, with real employees and real resistance. 


Before his current ventures, Renout held senior positions at Dell, Salesforce, and Showpad. He authored “Obsessed” (2019), a book on customer data strategy that was already warning businesses to prepare for the AI era before ChatGPT existed. 


Today he operates across multiple ventures: Quest2S (his management consultancy), GrowthAgent (AI-powered customer growth), and SiNergy (a joint venture with Delaware targeting €10M ARR in financial orchestration for renewable energy). He also co-founded Spectra Lash, bringing AI-assisted R&D to the beauty industry. 


His keynotes aren’t motivational speeches with robot stock photos. They’re structured, honest, sometimes uncomfortable sessions that show leadership teams what AI really means for their organisation — the opportunity, the risk, and the math. 


Renout speaks in English, Dutch, and French. He delivers keynotes, half-day workshops, and full AI enablement programmes including train-the-trainer formats for organisations of 50 to 5,000 employees.
