​Part of Amsterdam Tech Week 2026. June 16–19

​Meet the person behind this session: Angelique Schouten knows enterprise sales from the inside. As a former Executive Board member at Ohpen, the world’s first cloud-native core banking engine, she helped sell into some of the most complex financial institutions in Europe.

​At Ohpen, she led commercial operations and founded the UK office, working on deals averaging €7 million. These were not quick sales calls. They involved tier 1 and tier 2 banks, long buying cycles, many stakeholders, heavy due diligence, and high-trust decisions around a platform running over €100 billion.

​Today, Angelique is CEO and Founder of 10x.Team. She is also a scale-up and internationalisation expert volunteer in Techleap’s Rise Program, where she helps founders scale their organisations and prepare for international roll-out.

​Fun fact: Angelique was also among the handful of people selected to preview ChatGPT two weeks before it went live in 2022. She has been building, selling, and scaling ever since.

​This event is part of 10x's TuesdAI Takeover during  Amsterdam Tech Week.

​Enterprise deals don't stall because your product isn't good enough. They stall because you skipped the basics. This session is about knowing what those basics are before they cost you the deal.

​Who is this for?

​· Founders who are trying to break into enterprise sales but don't know where to start

​· Founders who are in conversations with large companies but keep stalling at the finish line

​· Founders who know they have a strong offer but struggle to get the right people in the room

​What you'll learn

​· Why skipping the basics is the real reason most enterprise deals drag on for months

​· How to ask the right questions to get you into the room in the first place

​· Why the right human connection closes more deals than the best pitch

​Forget generic sales frameworks. Get ready to learn instead from hard-won experience from someone who's been in the battlefield.
