Maarten Bessems MSc.
Managing Director
After graduating in Mathematical Economics I worked for 10 years as a quantitative consultant in both the profit and non-profit sectors. Throughout my career, I have built and audited hundreds of small and large Excel models for different purposes, which gave me detailed insight into the possibilities and drawbacks of using Excel.
In 2011 I started Spreadsheetsoftware and with a lot of ideas, enthusiasm, and our customer expertise, we started programming ExcelAnalyzer 6 years ago. In my humble opinion, I believe ExcelAnalyzer is a must have for every Excel user who wants to build spreadsheets faster, without errors to enable better decision making.
Mark Gorissen
Partner Spreadsheetsoftware
Develop to Measure is the motto by which I help corporate clients to stay focused on strategic objectives.
It’s fascinating to see what can be achieved when an organization gets its measurements right.
For decades I accompanied the industry shift from Reporting to Business Intelligence, Performance Management and Augmented Analytics.
In these paradigm shifts I observe Excel as the tool that survived them all, and how.
While being perfectly clear that Excel is not a solution, it has been thé start of many mental models.
And, like real human beings, these models are often frustratingly hard to understand.
So how great is it, to be able to team up with Spreadsheetsoftware and solve this biggest Excel drawback with ExcelAnalyzer.
