About Maurice de Hond

Everyone in the Netherlands knows Maurice de Hond. He is a frequent guest on virtually all TV channels, sharing his insights about markets and public opinions.  Maurice started his internet panel Peil.nl in 2002.  Peil is all about current affairs and is a completely virtual company.  Maurice publishes his results on a weekly basis, and they are often quoted in the Dutch media.  2009 heralded another change in his life - the birth of his daughter (Daphne).  Inspired by her usage of educational apps on the iPhone/iPad he started a foundation in 2012 called "O4NT" (Onderwijs 4 een Nieuwe Tijd). This led to a completely new educational concept, named: the SteveJobsSchool. The first schools that worked with this concept started in 2013, gaining global media coverage in August of that year.

Currently Maurice is CEO of sCoolSuite Concepts, which delivers infrastructural tools for the schools working with the 1:1 tablet approach (each child a tablet, which can be taken home).
