How I work
Three ways in, all the same framework: People, Product, Process.
Product Development Check-in
A focused two-week assessment of your team, product, and process. You walk away with a clear picture of what's working, what's not, and what to fix first.
Fractional Advisory
I join your team as an experienced voice on the critical path. Architecture, manufacturing, team structure. The depth flexes to match what you need.
Investor Technical Review
Independent evaluation of hardware investments through three lenses: the team, the product architecture, and the development process.
"I would recommend anyone with aspirations in hardware to work with Maarten early. It will save you lots of headaches, and money."
- Fiede Schillmoeller, Founder at Legato (ex-Sonos)
What people say:
"Working with Maarten at Polaroid was genuinely valuable because he consistently bridged the gap between product, engineering, and finance. What I especially appreciated was his ability to translate typical engineering language into something we could truly understand within Finance, making complex topics clear and accessible."
-Chris Dekkers, Dir. Group Control (Polaroid)
"Able to quickly grasp any technical issue. He is a strong leader well liked by his teams. He is pragmatic and fast to pivot when needed. He is able to define a clear product vision and drive execution. And above all he is a person with a great heart, very collaborative."
-Maxim Romain, CEO (Dott)
"Maarten has a true passion for product development and excels at creating and executing technological roadmaps. As a leader, he prioritized three pillars: product, process, and people, and strived to create best-in-class products while ensuring efficiency and keeping the team highly motivated."
-Gustavo Juárez Ugarte, VP Eng & MFG (Quatt, ex-Dott)
"He is an outstanding product development leader. He focuses on people first to make sure the team is clear on their goals and direction and has a natural way of pushing the team while inspiring them and bringing them closer together."
-Chris Davies, VP Audio (Samsung, ex-Sonos)
