Pascal Petit

Pascal Petit is a Brussels-based entrepreneur and investor/operator. He is currently listed by Thynk.Cloud as its CEO & co-founder, and Thynk says the company was created in late 2019 when Nils Scheers partnered with Pascal Petit, then a Salesforce consultant, to build a modern commercial and operations platform for hoteliers.

Before Thynk, Petit built a long career in enterprise software and services. HospitalityNet describes him as a serial entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience in enterprise software and services across Europe and the US. He co-founded NET2S, helped grow it into an approximately €80 million revenue global software and services business serving Fortune 500 customers, led its IPO, and later its acquisition by British Telecom.

At Serena, Petit has been an Operating Partner since 2017, according to Signal and other profiles. Serena’s own portfolio pages continue to list him as an Operating Partner involved with companies such as Inato, ACINQ, iBanFirst, Mindee, Hull, Odaseva, and Descartes Underwriting. Serena’s operating model emphasizes hands-on support to founders across product, structure, sales, marketing, finance, HR, and international growth.

Petit studied at Télécom Paris from 1990 to 1993, according to his LinkedIn and Signal profiles; investor databases describe his degree as an MSc in computer science.
