Our road to building better product teams

This would be my most accurate one-liner of what it feels like to build a company from a three-person founding team to a few-million revenue/30+ headcount business.

That's how most meetings start. My answer: I don't care 🙂 First because it's almost impossible to pronounce in English, second reason is that I don't have any feelings when you get it wrong.

So my name is Gijs Nelissen. Living in Leuven, Belgium (

) together with Annelies who I proudly call 

 (although we're not married) and our 3 kids (Marcel, Lucie and Robbert).

I spend most of my time between being a parent and as a co-founder of Prezly (

). In the time I have left I spend way too much time in front of my computer, do urban gardening, and I am learning how to kite-surf.

) I write about product management, company culture & hiring, tech topics and maybe sometimes about my personal life.

Hi, I'm Gijs

How do I pronounce your name?
