Patrick Dalvinck

CEO & Co-Founder

Founder voice on agentic AI, bid governance, and sales leadership.

Patrick Dalvinck is the founder of SEQUESTO. He built the platform after watching bid teams spend years assembling the same responses, constrained by tools that treated knowledge as static files rather than governable assets. Patrick holds the conviction that agentic AI belongs in high-stakes commercial work only when humans retain strategy and judgment. He speaks openly about the trade-offs SEQUESTO has made: choosing governance over speed, structured knowledge over unstructured retrieval, and institutional control over algorithmic autonomy. His writing reflects the founder's stake in category creation. Patrick works directly with pursuit managers and bid directors to ensure the platform serves the governance requirements their organisations actually hold.
