Testimonials

Minh Hoang - Product Manager at OpenBB "I highly recommend Jeroen as an asset in any organization. Jeroen led and executed OpenBB's go-to-market initiatives, including Academia, with exceptional skill. It is not easy to find Jeroen's combination of solid finance knowledge and Programming knowledge."

Sri Chilukuri - VP of Product Marketing at OpenBB "Jeroen has been a delight to work with. With his expertise in investment research and "can do" attitude, he quickly transformed himself into an excellent product marketing manager at OpenBB. In fact, I would not hesitate to say that he was often the lone sane voice in helping steer the heavily engineering-centric company in the right business direction."

Luuk van Benthem - Senior ALM Adviseur at PGGM "Jeroen joined our team just at the right time. As we were considering a full redevelopment of our ALM model, Jeroen's knowledge of Python first greatly helped us in the decision process. In the implementation phase Jeroen played a key role on the development of the technical side of the model. Meanwhile he did a good job at educating our team on these new topics and providing good documentation."

Pascal Janssen - Strategisch ALM Adviseur at PGGM "(Written in Dutch) Jeroen is zeer bedreven in alle facetten van programmeren in Python. Zijn kennis en ervaring op het gebied van Python hebben een grote meerwaarde geleverd voor mijn afdeling. Jeroen is scherp als het aankomt op het juist implementeren van code in Python. Daarnaast is hij ook bedreven in het draaiend krijgen en houden van Python op werkplekken en de ondersteuning die hierbij nodig is."

Didier Lopes - CEO at OpenBB "On the 13th of October 2021, I received an email from Jeroen about adding one of his finance GitHub packages to the OpenBB Terminal. After digging into his open source projects and his achievements I was very impressed. When we had a chat regarding how to work together, I offered him a job on the spot. Jeroen was at the intersection of finance, programming and open source - which is a combination that is very hard to find - even today."
