Stephan Peijnik is Anexia’s Gyro Gearloose. He is the head of research and development. Together with his team he’s puttering on the company’s future. They are earl-adopters, catch up with all trends and weight up, which direction the digital development is taking. But like Gyro Gearloose all inventors need little helpers.
