Leendert Versluijs is IT architect mobile bij het Mobile Competence Center (MCC) van de Belastingdienst. Het MCC maakt apps voor de Belastingdienst andere overheidsorganisaties. Samen met de app-coördinator ben ik als IT architect nauw betrokken bij de ontwikkeling van zo’n app. Ik ben aanwezig bij de intake met de klant en bekijk de demo’s die het team elke 2 weken geeft. Heel soms codeer ik zelf maar daar kom ik jammer genoeg nog maar weinig aan toe. En ik doe ook hele andere dingen naast ontwikkelen, zo werk ik samen met ICT collega’s van Logius, DICTU, Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen en SSC ICT aan de rijksbrede kaders voor app-ontwikkeling.

Co-founded the Marketing Lab - an Agile data-driven product and marketing hub - by partnering closely with the business director and marketing lead who needed a new way of working to achieve their ambitious business goals. I brought my my superpower, which is creating insight driven visions that inspire teams to deliver first-of-kind world class experiences. I consult business leaders to formulate projects that span product creation through to product marketing - with a heavy dollop of growth hacking mentality thrown in. The results speak for themselves - 6x faster speed to market with 2x conversions. I also have rich experience in creating services and products for consumers(B2C), and (B2B) selling these to clients in the consumer, financial, defence, utilities and government sectors, globally. Rich experience in VUI, APP, Web and multimodal design.
