Tell us about yourself

I'm Wouter Verpoest, a psychologist by training, but I ended up going in a completely different direction: recruitment technology. I've worked at HRlinkIT for almost 8 years and have helped bring Minggo to life since the very beginning.

What do you do at Minggo?

As Product Owner, I'm involved in all aspects of Minggo: managing the team's day-to-day operations, capturing requirements, setting priorities and planning, and overseeing the architecture.

Why Minggo?

I love the challenge: Minggo is a new, innovative concept, something totally unseen in the industry. No two days are the same.

Best Minggo moment?

The bootcamp in the summer of 2019, brainstorming for days with the team from Kyiv about how to turn the concept into a full-fledged product.
