Alexandre Martins
With a master’s degree in physics engineering, this highly motivated, organized and result-oriented data engineer is obsessed with the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of almost anything. He not only loves to orchestrate multiple data pipelines, but also a well-grilled charcoal piece of meat (good ol’ picanha).
Rosa Lucassen
Rosa is a data scientist that got into mathematics in school, because she was bad at it. Since it’s in her character to never give up, she kept pursuing maths until she understood. And voila; now she’s a wizard. When not throwing together data, she’s throwing together great dishes in the kitchen. Want to make her day? Talk about Brooklyn 99 or give her a karaoke machine.
Vincent Wijma
Vincent has a keen eye for aligning different views and ambitions, forging a clear strategy. He has a 'can do' mentality in both his work as well as in the kitchen. He loves to cook for friends and family and if you catch him on the right evening, he might even treat you to some of his DJ'ing skills.
Lusinda Brizzolari
With more than 20 years of experience ranging from data quality specialist to system owner and everything in between, Lusinda lives and breathes data. Her special power is to keep everything simple and clear, while never losing sight of the ultimate goals and the relevant parties she needs to make things happen. She gets out of bed to ensure that data is fit for purpose, but also for her 4 kids and for spending time with friends.
