Naoufal and Edwin strengthen the Utilus commercial team

Utilus_Team
Many organisations struggle with modernising the essential IT systems that keep their operations running. To support clients in these environments, Naoufal El-Hamchaoui and Edwin Persoon have joined the Utilus commercial team.

Naoufal El-Hamchaoui — Public sector

Naoufal leads the development of the Public Sector business unit at Utilus. He brings extensive experience from the public domain, including several years at Software Improvement Group where he worked closely with government organisations across the Benelux.

Public institutions often operate complex application landscapes that have evolved over decades. Modernising these systems requires careful decision-making, strong governance and a clear understanding of risks.

Naoufal works with CIOs, enterprise architects and IT leaders who need to modernise critical systems while keeping public services running.

Edwin Persoon — Energy, infrastructure and logistics

Edwin focuses on sectors where digital systems and physical infrastructure increasingly intersect, including energy, transport and logistics.

Before joining Utilus he worked with organisations such as Gartner and Valcon, advising technology leaders on complex transformation challenges.

These sectors are under pressure to digitalise while maintaining reliability and operational stability. Edwin works with technology leaders who need to modernise legacy systems, integrate new platforms and keep operations running at the same time.

A word from the founders

“Naoufal and Edwin both understand the environments our clients operate in,” says one of the founders of Utilus.

“They know that organisations running critical infrastructure cannot simply replace systems overnight. Real transformation requires insight, careful planning and controlled execution. That is exactly the work we help our clients do.”
