A skilled Solution Architect with 18 years’ experience, Tom Van Mulders is responsible for identifying and aligning HPE’s Transformation Area 1 (‘transform to Hybrid’) with customer requirements. This includes leading industry-oriented and technical conversations, designing overall solutions and translating HPE’s solution stack into total solutions for customers and partners.

In close collaboration with the Global Account teams, Tom helped build the storage strategy for several Healthcare ISV’s (including Agfa & Orion Health), resulting in double digit growth for HPE. He was co-responsible for the creation of Orion’s CloudMap, and is also closely involved in growing HPE’s presence in the video surveillance business.

He holds a Master of Science in Business & Technology and a Master in Mgmt. Informatics (both Brussels University), and in his spare time enjoys skiing: he’s a certified instructor and loves to spend time his kids on the snow.

As co-founder of EASYdoesit, a creative production company from Berlin-Kreuzberg, Gregor Möllers runs production of commercials, music videos, photography shoots, graphics and animation projects, art pieces, documentaries, event films and more. Whatever is being produced, he has to maintain control of his ever-changing network of in-house and external creators.

Working in all aspects of audiovisual communication, he will be sharing unique insights into how technologies such as hyperconverged systems helps his company stay relevant, fast-paced, and always ready to scale, no matter what the job.
