Experienced product leader with zero interest in business platitudes. Let’s skip the fluff, shall we? 👔🛑 Here’s what truly gets me fired up: • Building and launching businesses & digital products that people love, need, and actually use. • Language learning geek. Fluent in Dutch, German, English, and currently tackling Spanish and Hungarian. I love the marathon-like process of language acquisition. • Exploring the latest tech (APIs, services, devices, data sets) to improve life, not just for the hype. Big fan of text-to-speech, LLMs, and computer vision—focused on making things genuinely useful, not gimmicky. • Empathy and positivity. I don’t complain; I focus on fixing what isn't working. Words matter, and I’d rather put my energy into solutions than finger-pointing. «Toby's positive attitude and leadership make his teams one of the best places to work.» — Anonymous peer feedback, Booking.com • Automation. DRY or die. If something’s repetitive, it’s getting automated. Zapier, Google Apps Script, Vercel functions? My kind of kit. • Low-bureaucracy, high-talent, radically candid teams. Distributed, deep work over office noise any day. • Effective altruism. I donate 10% of my take-home pay to long-term future causes. Want to join? https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/pledge • Dogs.
