HI! MY NAME IS TOM

A product guy from the Netherlands

I am a 42 year old Product Owner/Manager with 15+ years of experience in the fields of SaaS & B2C Products, Product Design and Product Development and a love for working in tech-minded start-ups.
​
I have a passion for designing, developing and delivering accessible products together with design and development teams that aim to improve the daily life of their end users. Together with the end user, my stakeholders and our prospects, I try to offer the perfect solution to their challenges.
​
But there is more to life than just work. So in my free time, I love spending time with my daughter Cato, a good cup of coffee and playing board, card and video games. I aim to go snowboarding at least once a year and love going to concerts and gigs.
