BOOMING.JOBS

Coming at you with another Meet the Team post! Introducing our trusty CTO, Marcel Hageman 🧑💻 🤩 Though Marcel only started at Booming in January of this year, he has already made quite the impact on the company. He was drawn to both the new opportunity and our CEO Jeroen’s story, having admiration for his obvious drive and energy, but also the diverse responsibilities and chance to leverage his skills as a developer and manager. ✍️ His career began at 17 as an autodidact, and after about 10 years, he landed jobs that finally put his profile on the map; Booking.com and IceMobile, followed by several years in consultancy roles. He also worked for Apple and Couchbase. 😄 He finds the best part of his role is no longer needing to work on tasks dictated by those who don't understand them. Now his challenge is trying not to become someone who doesn’t understand them himself! 🏍️ In his free time, Marcel loves go-karting, motorcycling, skydiving, scuba diving, hiking, exercising and shooting (cross)bows at stationary targets. He also enjoys camping in style, and fondly remembers his time in Canada when he was surprised by a moose walking around his tent! We appreciate our colleagues here at Booming and we hope you're enjoying learning more about them! Stay tuned for next weeks Meet the Team and have a Booming day 💥

For our next Meet the Team spotlight, let us introduce you to Hajo Akkerdaas! 💥 👨🍳 Hajo started out in a very different industry than start-ups not too long ago. He worked in a brewery, starting out as a dishwasher, and over time worked his way up to Assistant F&B Manager at the largest hotel in the Benelux. 💼 After discovering an advertisement for a new job, it led him down the path to meeting our CEO, Jeroen. The two of them shared an appreciation for the hospitality business and soon after, Hajo joined the Booming team. Now as an Account Manager, he enjoys interacting with his clients and the positive impact they can have together.  🍷Something that Hajo has recently taken an interest in is discovering and learning about wines.
