Welcome Mats!

Meet our new colleague: sporty, sociable, and a fan of bamischijf! He likes to start his day slow – with a plate of scrambled eggs, a glass of fresh orange juice, and a hot cup of coffee. Sporty, enthusiastic, and always up for a good time!

Welcome Mats!

What do you enjoy doing most in your free time?

"I love being active. Playing football, going for a walk or a game of padel – I enjoy it all. I also like heading out with my girlfriend or friends."

Sounds like a solid fit for team outings – and who knows, maybe even an extra asset for the vPlan football team during the next company tournament! ⚽️


What will you be working on at vPlan?

"At vPlan, I’ll be helping companies get better insight into their planning."

With his fresh perspective and enthusiasm, Mats contributes to more structure, clarity, and smart solutions for our customers.


What are you most looking forward to at vPlan?

"The annual ski trip sounds like a lot of fun!"

A week of snow, sports and good times with colleagues – solid combo. And who knows… maybe we’ll see him flying down the slope in that infamous dinosaur suit. We wouldn’t rule it out. πŸ˜‰


What can colleagues wake you up for?

"A good piece of tournedos… although I’d prefer it in the evening."

Fair enough – tournedos at 7 a.m. is a hard no, but any other time? Count him in. We’ll keep that in mind for the next summer BBQ. πŸ₯©


What’s your favorite travel destination (or bucket list trip)?

"My dream is to take a long trip through South America."

And let’s be honest: that sounds like a trip we’re all a little jealous of. 🌎

Which movie or series should everyone have seen?

"Peaky Blinders – especially the first three seasons."

Thomas Shelby as inspiration? If Mats plans as sharply as Shelby pulls off his next move, we’re in good shape.


How would your friends describe you in three words?

"Sociable, enthusiastic, sporty."

Exactly the kind of traits that come in handy at work: someone who brings energy, keeps things moving, and might get just a little too competitive during a game of FIFA at lunch.


Wat is jouw ultieme comfortfood?

"A bamischijf sandwich with mayo."

No further explanation needed. 😜


What does your ideal weekend look like?

"Sun, friends or family, a cold beer and some good food."

As soon as the sun comes out, you’ll probably find Mats outside – something sizzling on the grill and something chilled in his hand. 🍻


What’s something you’ve always wanted to learn or try?

"Skydiving! Although I am a bit afraid of heights."

Sounds like a great challenge… maybe somewhere above South America?


Wij wensen je heel veel succes, Mats! En maak je geen zorgen over dat broodje bamischijf met mayo – vrijdag is het gewoon weer snackbar-tijd πŸŽ‰πŸŸ
