Glenn De Wilde 📣 Freelance Content Marketeer

Mathias kent zijn vak. Denk strategisch en durft kritische vragen stellen. Hierdoor kom je elke keer weer net een trapje hoger in je denkoefening rond de juiste digitale strategie. Mathias is een no-nonsense persoon, straight en met een zeer duidelijke communicatie. Hij heeft ons doorheen een ingewikkeld, lang proces geloodst en daar zijn we nog altijd blij om!

Mathias supported me with a strategic reflection on the user journey and positioning of a technology in the payment market. Throughout this exercise, Mathias demonstrated his strategic and analytical mindset, and managed to formulate very practical and hands-on recommendations for the organization. If you are looking for a sharp, yet constructive assessment of your organization and technology, I would warmly recommend to work with Mathias. Despite challenging time-frames, he and his team managed to exceed on expectations.
