WORK HISTORY
Founder & Chief Technology Officer @Voicecosmos
Munich (District), DE
VoiceCosmos: Architecting the GTM Strategy for the Voice-Native EnterpriseExecutive Vision & Strategic Partnership As Founder and CTO, I didn\'t just build a platform; I identified a strategic market opportunity within the $847B CRM sector to help \"Digital Native\" enterprises evolve through AI. By acting as a Trusted Advisor to C-level executives, I navigated complex sales cycles to solve the 67% feature abandonment rate seen in traditional SaaS.Value-Driven Strategy & Revenue Recovery:I led the enterprise prospect journey from consideration to successful deployment by framing VoiceCosmos as a revenue-generation and execution layer:• Pipeline & Growth: Converted missed voice interactions into automated, high-intent lead capture and follow-up workflows.• Cost Optimisation: Reduced integration overhead by consolidating fragmented tooling into a single voice-native architecture.• Consumption-Based Scaling: Designed a multi-tenant system architecture built for high-volume tenant scale and usage-based growth.Cross-Functional Leadership & Roadmap Innovation:Collaborating across engineering, research, product, and solutions, I ensured the technical roadmap was directly informed by market intelligence and customer feedback:• Solutions Partnership: Delivered Voice2Component™, enabling natural language-to-production automation in seconds rather than weeks.• Complex Program Execution: Led large-scale deployment of production-ready automation flows across multiple industries, optimized for low-latency execution and high intent reliability.• Global Governance: Integrated legacy enterprise systems and ensured resilient 24/7 operations across global regions, aligned with GDPR and regulated-industry requirements (e.g, healthcare and audit-driven environments).
SKILLS
ABOUT RIAAN KLEYNHANS
I build AI-native platforms where execution meets trust: voice-native automation, identity, and fraud prevention, designed to operate safely at enterprise scale.I’m the Founder & CTO of Number7even, a venture studio focused on production-grade systems: multi-tenant architecture, integration-heavy delivery, and security-first design that doesn’t slow teams down. My work sits at the intersection of high-velocity engineering and pragmatic security, especially for voice and identity workflows where reliability, privacy, and abuse-resistance are non-negotiable.I build with AI-augmented engineering workflows (agentic tooling, automation, and rigorous evaluation/guardrails) to compress delivery cycles without compromising security or reliability.I solve for the fraud-ready present while building for a quantum-ready future in concrete terms: crypto-agility and post-quantum readiness (PQC migration planning), Zero Trust patterns, and audit-friendly operational controls. I’m currently completing CISSP (in progress) to formalize and sharpen the security governance layer that modern AI systems increasingly require.Current portfolio focus:Voice & Identity: voice-native AI workflows with liveness/fraud-resistance concepts (VoiceCosmos.com / VoiceIDVault.com)Crypto-Agility: Zero Trust architecture + post-quantum readiness for security-sensitive industries (Q-Intercept)Deep Tech (R&D): accessibility-first tooling exploration for photonic design workflows (FluxCoreDynamics.com)Based in Munich, I work across Europe and globally. English (native), German (business), Dutch. Remote-first, on-site for key phases (workshops, kick-offs, go-lives).I don\'t need to be the smartest in the room - I just want to build with the ones who are.
