After 3 years working as a UX manager for KLM, one of the Dutch corporate icons, its time for a new challenge.
This week I joined Takeaway.com, a new Dutch icon. I will be responsible for Product Design.
I had an awesome time at KLM/AirFrance and I look back on a great time with great people.
Up until 2018 I worked as UX Manager at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Responsible for the Mobile apps.

Factories are on the fronteer of the internet of things. They are extremely connected. Wit the Smart Worker Platform we set out to build a companion app for the factory. Giving field workers super powers.
We’re currently in a private beta with Vitens at Europe’s largest water pump facility. Field workers use smartphones and Google Glass to make better informed decisions, increase safety and reduce factory downtime.

What if you could A/B-test your store setups as easy as testing a website? This is what set of a research into beacon technology and it’s value for retail. Current market solutions are either expensive to implement at scale, aren’t suitable for all type of stores and don’t use opt-in methods.
The research traject led to a full store implementation, pilot and project validation with over 60 beacons for analyzing hot and cold spots, visitor behavior overall store usage. The service makes A/B-testing in retail easy and enables full integration with existing apps creating endless possibilities for integrating off- and online.

I’m really intrigued by Behavior Design. With software going mobile and wearable, designing for behavior is the next fronteer. With two friends we decided to bring Designers, Researchers, Developers and Entrepreneurs together to explore what’s going on and what’s next. Resulting in a quarterly meetup rated 4 stars and higher and over a 1.000 members in the community.
