Team with similar interests and mindset

Vincent Fokker, co-owner and founder

Co-owner and founder Vincent Fokker started Blenddata in 2021. Vincent: “I saw a lot of opportunities for data engineering and, after graduating, started looking for a place where I could delve further into this. To no avail. There were hardly any such places and at the software companies that did deal with data engineering, I couldn’t see myself working. Together with Lars and Roel, I decided to start a company myself. That became Blenddata.”

Constantly gaining new knowledge

Jari Burgers, medior data engineer at Blenddata

Jari Burgers found a job soon after graduating, but was the only data engineer who missed colleagues to learn from and spar with, as well as colleagues his age. He says: “I decided to look for an employer where I did have these colleagues. Besides, I thought it would be interesting to do something with consultancy. After all, I enjoy changing contexts a lot and acquiring new domain knowledge all the time. The position of data engineer at Blenddata was exactly what I was looking for.”

A young club with a great product

Harm Hoebergen is co-owner and operations director of Blenddata.

He says: “At 44 years old, I am the nestor of this club. I was working as a freelancer when I was asked if I was interested in joining Blenddata. I was keen to take up that challenge. Blenddata is a young club with enthusiastic, smart people and a great product. Moreover, the company has a lot of potential: every organisation struggles with a data problem. I also like the phase Blenddata is in. We have passed the real start-up phase and there is a nice foundation.”
