I have had the privilege of working closely with Marielle de Geest as the Head of Innovation, at Cogo. Marielle's commitment to user research and her ability to drive innovation through insights is outstanding. She has an innate talent for diving deep into user behaviour, needs, and motivations and she consistently uncovers valuable insights that lead to improvements in the user experience. What sets Marielle apart is not only her research expertise but also her ability to connect people and ideas. Having worked with her on research projects, she has a unique talent for bringing together cross-functional teams, aligning their goals, and fostering a collaborative environment. Marielle’s proactive attitude, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to excellence make her a reliable and valuable asset to any organisation. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any UX research or innovation-related position.

Marielle is amazing at what she does! She collects all sorts of exciting and complex information and knows exactly how to communicate the learnings and bring others on the journey to understand it all. I loved the format in which you compiled your research Marielle, always compelling stuff and easy to grasp (which is an absolute superpower skill!). Marielle brings all sorts of user insights into product design discussions which helps Cogo teams to understand the voices of the users. It was fantastic to see these user insights filter through our design systems. I especially loved how Marielle brought the users actual voices to the table at times - sound bites from participants talking during their sessions. Hearing participants talk so freely made it obvious to us that she had created a safe comfortable environment for people to talk about their experiences around something complex like measuring and reducing their carbon. I very much loved working with you Marielle! We worked in different timezones, never met IRL and we pulled together some fantastic work. Your attitude towards setting up research projects and working with others was inspiring, extremely calm under pressure and just a joy to work with. I hope our paths cross again. Marielle is an absolute gem and would be an asset to any organisation looking to level up their user research capabilities.
