Portfolio

Deltares - Department Transformation

Headed a department of scientific software engineers that faced motivational challenges after having learned that their flagship product was discontinued because it had become unmaintainable. The assignment was to make a sustainably motivated department, while the department would gradually transfer to a new department. I quickly learned that there was no lack of motivation, but vision, strategy, processes, and organizational changes were needed to unlock the department's real potential. In less than 2 years the department found better ways of collaboration and technical excellence, revitalized their flagship product, and became an example to the rest of the organization. Read here how Maurits de Boer headed to this turnaround.

Multinational - Scaling a Department and Product

Headed a department responsible for Cimpress’ product design software, used by businesses worldwide to let end users create customized products such as T-shirts, mugs, and posters. The software had great potential, but its monolithic design had become unmaintainable after years of exceptions and business-specific logic. The assignment was to unlock its potential and make it scalable again. Market research revealed structural, not technical, challenges. I developed a new strategy and led the creation of a next‑generation SDK that allowed each business to build and maintain its own custom design tool with minimal effort. A rapidly growing international team delivered the transformation, and after initial hesitation, all businesses adopted the SDK. The result was a stable, flexible, and maintainable solution that drove user growth from 10,000 monthly to over 30 million.
