Sander Olislagers
Director of Product & Growth
I'm a product leader who turns company vision into outcome-driven roadmaps and builds teams that can actually deliver them. Over the past decade I've moved organizations from gut feeling to evidence-based decision making, most recently leading a 19-person Product & Growth organization to 28% YoY revenue growth and 29% gross-margin growth. I care as much about the health and autonomy of the team as I do about the numbers.
Personal introduction

Currently Director of Product & Growth at Bambelo.
