Hugo is Tweede golf's first point of contact for the outside world, responsible for business development, sales and hiring.

He studied Mathematics (BSc) and Finance (MSc, cum laude) and worked as a developer for 5 years before becoming a co-owner.

Apart from his work, he also likes to be outside, to run a trail or climb beautiful routes when on holiday with his business partner Marlon.

On Thursday 11 September 2025, I attended the LF Energy Summit in Aachen, Germany, where I gave the talk ‘Rust Meets the Grid: Building openleadr-rs for Real-World Demand Response’, together with Ton Smets from ElaadNL.
We’ve been raising awareness of the importance of using memory-safe technology to build systems that are truly secure-by-design. We do this alongside our core business, which is to help companies to use Rust successfully. With the CRA standardization process well on its way, now is the perfect time to update you on what we’ve been doing and why.
Last November, we announced that our open-source Rust implementation of the latest version of the Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) standard had officially joined the Linux Energy Foundation’s OpenLEADR project. Today, we’re excited to share some of the early traction we’re seeing, outline our future plans, and invite your support in shaping what’s next.
