New year, new job: after nine fantastic years at Backbase, I’ve decided it is time for a change. I’ve joined henQ, a Dutch venture capital firm with a focus on B2B software startups. As Partner at henQ, I will focus on finding the next winner in fintech, SaaS, enterprise software, and beyond, and I will be working with our portfolio companies on growing marketing, product, and tech.
As VP Product Management and before that, Global Head of Marketing, I’ve had the honor to be a part of growing Backbase by 10x or more in every measure. And I’m planning to do more than the same at henQ.
From my very first meeting at Backbase, I knew this was going to be an extraordinary journey. Back in 2010, I joined a team of 50 people selling an AJAX library and building a new portal product. Since then, we found focus, defined our vision, and executed on that vision, bringing Backbase to where it is today – the number one player in digital banking, and one of the most exciting tech companies in The Netherlands, if not Europe.
I am very proud of all that we have achieved at Backbase and most proud of the R&D and Products team I leave behind who will be making Backbase better and better every day.
And now I shift my focus to investing and henQ, I’m excited about getting the chance to work with more founders and more amazing teams rocking the b2b software world.
It was awesome to work with you in the Backbase R&D Products team. You are missed!
