It was a memorable moment filled with drinks, snacks, and heartfelt speeches from Tim Koene-Ong, Joost and Marcel. We thank Marcel for his dedication and contributions over the past five years and wish Joost all the best in his future endeavors. #EFFECTPhotonics #WorkAnniversary #Farewell

"All good things come to an end...   ... so that better things can fall into place."   After eight and a half years at EFFECT Photonics, the time has come for me to move on.   When I joined in 2016, it was just the four founders and a small core team. I am incredibly grateful to Tim Koene-Ong, Boudewijn Docter, James Regan, and Robert Hughes for taking a leap of faith and hiring an experienced product manager, though without much domain knowledge. The first months were like drinking from a firehose: so much deep tech and so many acronyms (DWDM, MQW, DBR, PIC, MZM...). I sometimes wondered if I could ever understand any or all of it... After eight years and many patient explanations, I have quite a good grasp of the ins and outs... but there is always more to learn!   I've greatly enjoyed being a member of the high-performance Sales and Marketing over the last few years. I especially appreciate all the opportunities that Harald Graber, MBA has given me and his confidence in me. His nudge to start at Kellogg-WHU Executive MBA, based on his positive experience, has been life-changing. I tremendously enjoyed working with my peers, Nina Groothuijzen and Pieter Moolman, bridging the gap between technology innovation and customer value-add. Finally, I'm very proud of all the hard work that my team of Thijs Peeters, Elwin Hameleers, and, previously, Vladi Veljanovski and Michiel Boermans have done to design a portfolio that addresses the market's needs.   I love the optics and photonics industry, and I'm not finished having fun there yet! Stay tuned for an update on my next challenge...
