Stijn, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your guidance and support. The insights and tips you shared were incredibly valuable and have already made a big difference for me. You really know your stuff when it comes to interviewing for PM role, and I'm so grateful that you were willing to share your expertise with me. Your ability to listen, ask insightful questions, and provide actionable advice is seriously impressive. I felt like our session was super productive and I left with a ton of new ideas and strategies to implement. Looking forward to have another session soon!

Stijn was an incredibly dedicated and passionate mentor. Inspite of him not feeling well,. he took the time out to share his feedback and was open and honest in the session. I really resonate with people who are open and honest too. And, I thank him for it. Highly recommend Stijn as a mentor!

My call with Stijn was fantastic! His breadth of experience perfectly aligned with the topic I was looking to discuss. We got right into it and he was able to give me a ton of valuable insights in the short time we spoke; I was barely able to keep up with my note taking. Most importantly, I valued his honesty - I wasn't looking for feedback on "only what I wanted to hear". He was able to provide a rational perspective on all angles of my situation. Would fully recommend Stijn as a mentor, and hope to connect with him again.

Expertise
Advice on funding
Fundraising strategy (debt, equity or bootstrapping considerations). I advise on founder-friendly terms and steer clear of common pitfalls. I raised over 213.5 Million USD in multiple rounds, both equity and debt for multiple start-ups and funded over 400 USD in debt funding for technology companies.
Building a team
Should you have a founders-driven, people-driven or system-driven company structure? Should it be cross functional or a matrix org? With experience from Pre-seed start-ups to E companies like Google and Revolut, I offer my insights to avoid scaling pitfalls and strategies to fuel your team's explosive growth journey, while maintaining structure.
Design / UX
Every unnecessary click is unnecessary customer friction. But how to achieve the smoothest UX when you have hundred of features? I led Revolut's current Super App experience and marketplace design and worked closely as a product executive at numerous fintechs. I'll help you navigate UX strategies to craft a seamless, intuitive, and engaging experience that keeps users coming back for more. Most importantly, we can setup governance systems to ensure a good and consistent UX.

Let's power up your go-to-market strategy. Drawing on my experience designing Revolut's Super Appāa success story with 500k+ businesses onboardedāand funding over 400m EUR to thousands of businesses, I can help determine which companies have found a product-market fit and which don't. We'll pinpoint your unique value proposition, identify key customer segments, and create a tailored rollout plan.
Product management
Product management comes down to one thing: how to priorize in a complex environment? Having been a product executive now for over 10 years, I can guide you in strategizing, designing, and optimizing your product to maximize user satisfaction and business growth.
