Anouk van Pol has a diverse work experience spanning different roles and industries. Anouk is currently serving as the Co-Founder & COO of Ingu Solutions Inc., a company that specializes in pipeline inspection technology. In their role, they are responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of INGU's Pipers® technology. This innovative solution allows pipeline operators to actively monitor pipeline condition and make informed decisions to ensure safety and efficiency.
Prior to their work at Ingu Solutions Inc., Anouk founded their own company, Amdano BV, where they provided services such as website content management, website design, and tutoring for high school and university students. During their time at Amdano BV, Anouk gained practical experience in entrepreneurship and business management.
Anouk also has experience as a lab assistant at the University of Amsterdam, where they contributed to research activities and provided support in laboratory settings. Additionally, they worked as a High School Science Liaison at INCAS³, where they organized visits for high school students and provided information on sensor technology.
Overall, Anouk van Pol's work experience highlights their expertise in pipeline inspection technology, entrepreneurship, and science education.
Anouk van Pol began their education at the Willem Lodewijk Gymnasium, where they earned their High School Diploma in 2012. During their high school years, they also attended the High School Summer College at Stanford University for a brief period in 2011.
After completing high school, Anouk went on to study at the University of Amsterdam. From 2012 to 2015, they pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Business. Following this, they continued their studies at the same institution and obtained a second Bachelor of Science degree, this time in Physics, from 2013 to 2016.

Currently, inline inspection in the oil and gas sector is a series of staged engineering events, designed to assess the condition of pipeline assets. It is costly, infrequent, and only addresses those lines that are within reach. In fact, it is estimated that 40% of the world’s pipelines are unpiggable. The vulnerabilities between inspections,which are typically years apart, or the inability to conduct inspections at all, puts the world’s aging pipeline infrastructure at risk. In order to address these issues, we have focused on changing the economics, the technology, and the workflow associated with inline inspection. We have introduced the industry’s first self-serve inspection model that eliminates significant engineering and downtime costs. We have developed miniature, multi sensor Pipers® technology that freely flows within any and all active pipelines, regardless of location, condition, material or configuration. This technology is capable of inspecting pipelines as small as 2 inches in diameter, and surveying for leaks, geometric defects, magnetic anomalies, and deposits in a single run. Further, we have reduced the cost of inline inspection by a factor of 10, making it possible for integrity programs to be more present, more often, across all of their assets. Finally, such accessible technology has given us the opportunity to work with a complete range of clients – large and small, private and public – resulting in rich datasets libraries that offer unprecedented contextual analysis and continuous advancement of our data analytics capabilities. Our approach provides clients with uninterrupted access to up-to-date condition-critical data, allowing them to optimize planning, decision-making, and actions.
