Two weeks ago, I closed a chapter that lasted 7.5 years. Leaving WUA wasn't easy. It's a place I genuinely loved, and a lot of that comes down to the people, and Henk Kroezen especially, whose vision and energy made those years what they were. Thank you, Henk! And a special shout-out to Joost Dolstra and Steffan Hartzema for all the great things we built over the years. For now, I'm taking some time that I've been quietly looking forward to. Slowing down a bit, picking up things I'd been putting off, and diving into something that's been on my mind for a while: building an app of my own. One that helps me stay on top of my days and feeds into my hobby on the side. As a Product Manager, learning to build alongside AI feels like a natural thing to explore, and I'm loving it so far. In the meantime, I'm curious and eager to reconnect. Whether we know each other well or have only crossed paths once, I'd love to hear from you. About what you are working on, where product management is heading, the ideas that are floating around - or simply to catch up and talk about life. If you'd like to grab a coffee, please reach out.
