Laurens Waling

What happens when AI can match people to opportunities—and act on their behalf? Laurens Waling helps leaders explore what that means for work, talent, and their organizations. As Chief Evangelist at 8vance and former founder of Part-up, Laurens brings an entrepreneurial perspective and a TU Delft background to the future of work. His keynotes connect AI and human potential, covering Agentic HR, skills-based organizations, talent mobility, AI matching, workforce transformation, and human-AI collaboration. For leadership teams, HR professionals, and AI audiences, Laurens turns these themes into clear questions and practical directions: how to look beyond job titles, connect skills with opportunities, and rethink work as people and AI collaborate. Based in the Netherlands, Laurens is available for paid international keynotes at HR, AI, and Future of Work conferences, leadership events, and corporate gatherings.
