Christophe Kempkes

Christophe Kempkes is co-founder of Athmos and co-author of Stories of Collective Leadership in Action. He works at the intersection of strategy, organisational design and relational dynamics, challenging the assumption that decisions can be finalised upfront and then managed through structure and planning. Through Athmos, he helps leaders integrate human and systemic forces into decision design, enabling collective sensemaking under complexity.

Athmos was co-founded with Thenable. Willem Billiet, managing partner of Thenable, brings a sharp focus on strategy, organisational design and execution, combining a pragmatic Roadto- Action approach with a strong drive to apply AI where it meaningfully strengthens decision-making. Together, they position relational and systemic intelligence as core infrastructure for governing complexity - made fast, accessible and scalable through AI.
