Working alongside Niels has helped me grow into my position at Omnia with ease. Niels understands the critical importance of maintaining a strong product. His focus is on balancing what is needed from product, development, and business and he does this remarkably. With the right strategy, he is able to prioritize what needs to be done, look at the bigger picture, and motivate his team and colleagues easily. I find it incredibly valuable of him to keep an open mind when receiving feedback and learning something new. From work to personal support, Niels has always made time to listen and kept a can-do attitude to solve these problems. It is an absolute pleasure to be working with him.

      After two years of dreaming about it and saving money, my girlfriend and I decided that it was now or never to take half a year off to travel Africa and South East Asia. So we quit our jobs and decided to just do it!
