Meet the team
Karel Vervaet
Product Lead
If something is moving in nutrition IT, chances are Karel is already following it. A bioscience engineer, he has spent 29 years advising international feed companies on feed formulation software. As former head of the BESTMIX development team, he also has a sharp eye for integration with other systems. Today, he works closely with major players in feed and pet food production and has a special interest in building the environmental impact of animal nutrition into formulation software. Karel is married and a father of four.
Lenny Dauw
Customer Success Manager
Since joining BESTMIX in 2005, Lenny has worked as a senior consultant in feed formulation software and led the BESTMIX software delivery team. As Customer Success Manager, he now focuses on what he enjoys most: building long-term relationships and making sure customers get measurable business value and lasting impact from BESTMIX. Lenny is the father of two teenage daughters. When he’s not out sailing, he’s probably training for his next triathlon.
Bea Van Deynse
Marketing Communication Specialist
For more than 20 years, Bea has been telling the BESTMIX story, inside and out. She’s the link between BESTMIX and the people who matter most to it, from customers and partners to colleagues. Her storytelling doesn’t stop when she clocks off: as a certified tour guide in Bruges, Ghent and Flanders Fields, she loves showing visitors around beautiful Belgium. In her free time, she travels, enjoys good food and loses herself in a gripping historical thriller.
Imke Kleine Holthaus
Implementation Consultant
Imke combines a background in agricultural sciences with hands-on experience in a microbiology lab. For almost three years, she has put that knowledge to work at BESTMIX, helping customers find the best possible solution and turning their business needs into efficient processes. The most rewarding part? Helping them optimise their formulations and workflows. Outside work, you’ll usually find her outdoors with her dog Lotti or keeping active through sport.
Maika Willemsen
Product Lead
Give Maika a puzzle and she’s in her element. In more than five years at BESTMIX, she has helped shape new features, and nothing beats seeing customers put them to work. Sitting still isn’t really her thing: outside work, she plays softball, rides horses, kitesurfs, runs and snowboards.
Pierpaolo Camera
Sales Manager
For 25 years, Pierpaolo has been helping the nutrition industry work smarter, selling and supporting software for everything from R&D and QC to ERP and farm management. He’s driven by helping people save time and money and work more efficiently, and he loves meeting people all over the world and learning about their cultures. Home is just north of busy Milan, where he lives with his wife, their two children and Freddy, the family’s spoiled and much-loved dog. When he’s not on the tennis court, he follows just about every sport going, with a soft spot for football and the NFL.
Henny Opsommer
Account Executive
With more than 15 years at BESTMIX, Henny knows every product in the portfolio, for food and feed alike. So if you want the big picture of what BESTMIX can do for your business, Henny is the person to talk to. Guilty pleasures? Good food, good books, movies and music.
Bert Vanmoen
Account Executive
Bert has spent his entire career in sales and has been with BESTMIX for almost eight years, working across the DACH region, Benelux and Scandinavia. His connection to the industry runs in the family: his grandfather owned a mill and a pig farm. At home, he shares his life with his wife, son, two dogs and two cats. Outside work, Bert enjoys playing padel, spending time with his family and pets and following football.
Florian Zimmermann
Chief Revenue Officer
