À propos de Nick
I scale customer operations across three dimensions that have to grow together: People, process, and P&L. Strong processes without strong teams break under pressure. Strong teams without structure burn out. I build both at once.
Track record across three Belgian companies (Poppy/D'Ieteren, Blink Charging, Coolblue):
- P&L €2M+ ownership and 35 FTE team at Poppy (D'Ieteren Group)
- Scaled and led teams from 10 to 35 people during fast-growth phases
- -50% cost per interaction — achieved without team burnout
- +400% team growth at Coolblue during service expansion, with stable quality
- -85% response time through workflow redesign and team enablement
What I bring:
People leadership - hiring, coaching, performance management, building team structures that survive scaling.
Process & automation - Zendesk, Intercom, Notion, Looker Studio, Monday,..
Commercial ownership - P&L, unit economics, cost-to-serve optimization
Change management - cross-functional alignment during expansions & changes
My focus is not short-term growth at all costs, but models that scale without increasing complexity, cost, or team pressure. Growth and a healthy team are not opposites - they're the same project.
Open for interim, freelance, or project-based assignments in Belgium, BeNeLux, or remote.
