Michiel is that guy—the one teams ping when they want to understand what’s coming next in technology. He tracks the latest AI news every day, filters the signal from the noise, and translates it into stories people actually remember.
As the voice behind Lucido, he delivers AI and emerging technology talks that empower audiences to grasp the opportunity in front of them. Years in customer success and product, combined with relentless technical curiosity, mean he can bridge the gap between high-level strategy and the practical realities of day-to-day work.
Michiel’s style is conversational, story-driven, and grounded in real use cases. Sessions weave together ethical considerations, workflow design, and live demos so teams leave inspired and equipped—to act on Monday morning. He speaks equally comfortably in English and Dutch.

Complex AI topics become digestible, jargon-free stories that leave teams with playbooks—not platitudes.
Sessions show how to harness AI for continuous improvement, momentum, and staying ahead in fast-evolving markets.
Every idea connects back to real workflows, risks, and opportunities so you can act with confidence.
Lucido’s presentations rely on storytelling—blending complex AI concepts into narratives that keep attention high and avoid dry, technical monologues. Each session balances theoretical introductions (so everyone has the same foundation) with practical use cases that show how AI works in the real world.
Responsible AI is woven throughout, providing guidelines and frameworks for ethical implementation. Presentations focus on SMEs and draw on experience with companies like Silverfin, Proximus, and Zoovu, making every example highly relevant. The core belief: AI has value for every team, not just the tech crowd.
Lucido supports organisations through three pillars: inspirational talks that spark understanding, deep-dive resources like articles and videos, and hands-on consultancy for tooling and workflow integration. Together, they bridge theory and practice so your team knows what to do next.
Lucido primarily partners with SMEs, especially those navigating data privacy and compliance questions such as GDPR or ISO. Based in Belgium, the work reflects European regulations and business realities, but the frameworks adapt well to other industries—all of which are feeling AI’s impact.
Yes. Talks can be tailored from high-level overviews to deep-dive workshops. Lucido also moderates AI conversations, panels, and philosophical debates. Duration ranges from 30-minute keynotes to half-day sessions, depending on outcomes you need. Moderation for panels and fireside chats is available too.
Expect demos of tools like NotebookLM, SANA.AI, Silverfin, N8N, Zapier, Wispr Flow, AnyLLM, ChatGPT, Gemini, Sora, SunoAI, Odeo, ReCraft, Flux, and Minimax. Case studies highlight companies such as LegalFly, Yuki, and gust.ai, including “day in the life” scenarios that show how these tools reshape work.
Lucido combines inspiration, resources, and implementation guidance. Teams learn the “why,” gain the “how,” and receive practical support to make new workflows stick. The goal: confident adoption instead of pilot purgatory.
Sessions open by establishing credibility, then switch to relatable storytelling. You’ll see day-in-the-life journeys, tool demos, practical prompts, EU AI Act implications, and interactive moments (quizzes, polls, live prompting) to keep energy high.
Talks are available in Dutch and English. While French isn’t currently offered, it’s on the roadmap. Support materials and online content mirror this dual-language approach.
Impact is tracked through direct feedback, referrals, and follow-up engagements. Early indicators include newly confident teams, streamlined processes, and the number of conversations that continue after the session wraps.
Clients praise the mix of storytelling and tangible examples. They describe Lucido as approachable, collaborative, and receptive to feedback—someone who partners with them instead of talking at them.
Highlights include projects for Silverfin, social secretariats, UCLL, and BNP Paribas. Each engagement demonstrates Lucido’s ability to adapt content to different audiences while keeping impact front and centre.
Lucido helps teams build literacy and confidence with educational talks, workshops, and guidance on AI risks, safe usage, and prompt design. Teams leave with the vocabulary, guardrails, and starter workflows to experiment responsibly.
Youthful energy meets pragmatic experience. Lucido combines hands-on platform building (Clever, Proximus) with relentless curiosity and a no-hype approach. Expect practical, applicable solutions—not theoretical slide decks.
Yes. Lucido stays involved with tool setup, onboarding, and AI strategy, ensuring adoption doesn’t stall once the presentation ends.
Continuous learning is baked in: YouTube (think Matt Wolfe), X (formerly Twitter), books by voices like Yuval Noah Harari and Ethan Mollick, podcasts on product and AI, plus constant hands-on experimentation and conversations with peers.
Misconceptions around AI’s limits, the effort involved, and the role of humans are front and centre. Lucido helps teams understand where AI shines, where it stumbles, and why human judgment is indispensable.
By default, projects align with GDPR and ISO expectations. Lucido works with vetted partners to design secure solutions, prioritising data governance from the outset.
Lucido avoids tools with questionable origins, respects copyright, and emphasises transparency, bias mitigation, and fairness. Ethics aren’t a slide at the end—they’re woven throughout the work.
Yes. Lucido supports tool selection, proof-of-concept builds, and integration into existing workflows, helping teams adopt AI without derailing operations.
Most teams start by piloting the ideas shared. Lucido can then provide further coaching, workflow workshops, or integration assistance to keep momentum going.
Michiel has lived the corporate (Silverfin, Proximus) and startup (Clever) realities, understands the constraints of SMEs, and brings Toastmasters experience plus a genuine love of AI tinkering. He’s a translator between tech and people.
Lucido will expand from AI awareness into broader “future of work” consulting—covering automation, data privacy, and emerging tech strategies that keep companies adaptable.
SMEs are where curiosity meets opportunity. Lucido is pivoting toward office-based teams—HR, marketing, customer success, SaaS product—where repetitive tasks are ripe for automation and appetite for AI is growing fast.
Both. Online sessions feature live demos and interactive polls; in-person sessions add hands-on energy, extended Q&A, and collaborative exercises.
Yes. Lucido already builds “day in the life” demos for accountants and can replicate that approach for law firms, logistics, creative agencies, and beyond.
Casual, conversational, and story-driven. No doom talk, no jargon overload—just humour, real examples, and actionable advice.
Very. Quizzes, live prompting, tool demos, and polls keep energy high. Attendees leave with actual setups and next steps, not just inspiration.
Lucido can combine talks with hands-on tool testing, internal hackathons, or live workflow-building sessions—mix and match formats to suit your goals.
By skipping the hype. Lucido focuses on safe, tailored use cases and practical wins instead of generic trend slides.
Agentic AI, automation in SaaS, and smarter knowledge management will reshape work. Lucido is already integrating these themes into talks and workshops.
No. The philosophy is “automate the boring, elevate the human.” Creativity, strategy, and relationships remain uniquely human advantages.
Not yet. Lucido is open to collaborating with AI vendors, SaaS providers, and subject-matter experts where it adds value for clients.
Yes. Potential collaborations include co-branded training, early-adopter programmes, or joint workshops when the fit is right.
Potentially. A “Lucido playbook” is in consideration so other facilitators can deliver with the same tone, depth, and quality.
Everything is tailored. Pricing reflects the specific goals, scope, and follow-up support each client needs—so you only invest in what delivers value.
Many teams move from “AI curious” to testing real tools after a single session. With follow-up support, foundational workflows can go live shortly after.
Michiel started in customer success and operations at Silverfin (a SaaS platform for accountants), learning how to scale software while supporting people. Earlier roles at Clever and Proximus brought exposure to AI and chatbots when NLP was still emerging.
Because buzzwords were everywhere and practical examples were rare. The goal was—and still is—to make AI feel concrete, useful, and human-centric.
Story-driven, practical, and interactive. Expect humour, relatable examples, and live demos—no doomsday scenarios, no tech elitism.
AI is the focus today, but Lucido is expanding into automation, data privacy, and broader future-of-work themes.
A mix of corporate insights, startup scrappiness, and deep curiosity. Add Toastmasters polish and you get talks that are sharp, human, and memorable.
Through YouTube (Matt Wolfe and beyond), podcasts on tech and product, X (Twitter), books like Ethan Mollick’s, and lots of tool tinkering.
To build a consultancy that helps businesses harness new tech without losing their human side—and to keep speaking, because sharing ideas sharpens them.
Diving, fitness, cooking, Toastmasters, reading, and over-engineering side projects with AI just to explore what’s possible.
