Selected work

Five projects,
one common thread

Two are running today, three are closed. Four are engagements, one is my own product. The same pattern every time: something that outgrew its own structure and had to be brought back under control without stopping.

01 COO 2025 – present

Taking a seed-stage SaaS from gut feel to numbers

Cadenza / Acrely — proptech

My current role. As COO of Cadenza I own the full operation: commercial, onboarding, finance and engineering delivery. The company was growing faster than its own visibility into the numbers, and that's where I started.

  • I built seven operating dashboards — cockpit, commercial, onboarding, customer health, revenue and retention, cash conversion and engineering — combined into a single suite we still run on today
  • That suite immediately exposed what nobody could see: phantom deals in the pipeline, credit notes caused by a leak in the billing process, re-billable receivables nobody was chasing, and a sharp drop in product engagement after April
  • The biggest structural problem was post-sale ownership: there was none. I reassigned it and anchored it in the operating cadence
  • I held back a major product release that was about to land on an immature codebase with no QA gate, and replaced it with a feature-flagged rollout carrying a rollback threshold
  • The operating cadence I set up is still running: weekly rhythm, board reporting, and one set of numbers everybody steers on

Vlotr — institutional memory for volunteer boards

My own product · vlotr.bevlotr.be

Not a client engagement, but my own product. It is here because it proves what I sell: I don't only advise on building, I build and ship. Vlotr keeps track of what a volunteer board decides, who does what, and what its activities actually earn.

  • The problem: in parent committees, festival committees, brass bands and social clubs, decisions vanish into WhatsApp groups, tasks are forgotten, and nobody knows what an event really made. When the board changes, everyone starts over
  • Built: meeting notes carrying the decisions, action items with an owner and a deadline, and a handover screen that gets an incoming board up to speed immediately
  • Public order pages for fundraising activities, so a dinner or a sale no longer runs on a spreadsheet and a group chat
  • Bank statement import, so the board sees afterwards what an activity actually earned instead of estimating it
  • A Belgian non-profit deadline calculator for the legal obligations volunteer boards miss most easily
  • Live and paid, with a free tier to start. A second phase with networking features between organisations is in the works

03 Program Manager 2025 – April 2026

Residents permits for Parking.Brussels

Plugin2Drive / ParKKing

A public-private program for the Parking.Brussels residents permit system, spanning multiple organisations — from development teams to CEO and general manager level.

  • End-to-end program delivery across both the technical and operational workstreams, keeping development, operations and the client aligned
  • Coordinated a wide stakeholder landscape: engineers, architects, C-level executives and public sector decision-makers, each with their own pace and vocabulary
  • Owned program governance: planning, risk management, status reporting and escalation across every party involved
  • Tied technical delivery to operational readiness, so the solution is not merely built but deployable, supportable and fit for purpose
  • Kept momentum and clarity in a public sector context where timing, compliance and expectations all have to be managed in parallel

The largest parking app in the Benelux

4411 — Parking and Mobility / Be-Mobile NV

Almost six years of end-to-end ownership of the 4411 app, the largest parking app in the Benelux. I moved from engineering manager to offering manager to program manager on the same product, which means I built it, positioned it and delivered it.

  • Built a new internal engineering organisation to take over development from consultants and a nearshore team, without interrupting delivery
  • Led 15 to 20 technical profiles across backend, frontend, mobile, DevOps, QA, design, analysis and architecture
  • Introduced a full Agile / Scrum way of working that was later adopted more broadly across the company
  • As offering manager, held overall responsibility for the offering: exceeded 2021 targets within the first nine months and expanded it by 15%
  • Presented multiple business cases with a combined market value above €20 million
  • As program manager, managed financial and technical risks while coordinating customers, partners and internal stakeholders
  • Maintained platform reliability for hundreds of thousands of active users across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg
