Bart Deuss guest at Getting Real with Simon
Bart Deuss’s journey with Yaworks is a testament to resilience, growth, and personal strength. Since co-founding the company in 2009, Bart has guided Yaworks to impressive achievements, beginning with its first FD Gazelle Award in 2011—a prestigious recognition given to the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands.
This award marked the start of a remarkable winning streak, with Yaworks securing eight consecutive Gazelle Awards by 2018.
In 2018, however, Bart faced an unexpected tragedy when Rob Wennekes, his co-founder and best friend, passed away.
Stepping into the role of CEO, Bart led Yaworks through this challenging period, honoring Rob’s legacy while propelling the company to new heights.
Under Bart's leadership, Yaworks has continued to grow and thrive, reaching unprecedented levels of success.
Bart’s entrepreneurial profile is unusual, as he relentlessly practices a people over profit approach, prioritising the welfare of his staff over bottomline optimisation.
Beyond his business achievements, Bart is a dedicated father and a passionate combat sports enthusiast.
