Sjoerd was my tutor and manager during my internship at TAQA. I look up to him as the way he works. He is an excellent recourse and a master at giving feedback . He has been a tremendous asset to my internship and is a person I turn to on for advice. A master in how he use Scrum to get all-the-things done.

After working with Sjoerd over 7 years.. he is known as a trusted and highly skilled professional. He adds great value to high performing (IT) teams and he knows how to manage and motivate them. Looking forward to work with him soon, and in between we fuel each others minds with modern management methods like Scrum.
