About Mattijs Wassenburg

Vice President Product at Vertage

I've spent 20 years in product, from Product Owner to Managing Director and VP Product, leading multi-brand platform portfolios across NL, UK, US and APAC. My sweet spot: platform consolidation after M&A, designing product organizations around end-to-end ownership, and aligning product, engineering and data.

Book me if you're: • Stepping up from PM to Head of Product, VP or CPO • Restructuring teams toward empowered product teams • Integrating platforms after an acquisition • Building or scaling an HR tech or staffing tech product

I'll be direct, structured and practical. You leave with clear next steps.
