New to the team: Ruud & Leonie

We’ve welcomed two new colleagues to our team! In February, Ruud (development) and Leonie (support) joined Picqer. They’re excited to introduce themselves:

Ruud Schuurmans

Hi! My name is Ruud, and on February 1st I started at Picqer as Head of Engineering. In this role, I get to coach the engineering team and help ensure we continue building the very best warehouse software out there. I also help keep an overview and translate company goals into (technical) objectives for the engineering team.

From my previous roles, I bring a background in software architecture, which is all about logically structuring and organizing the code behind software. I’m excited to bring that experience into Picqer and help the team work with clear and understandable code. The ultimate goal is a well-aligned team that can develop new Picqer features with ease, speed, and pride.

I’m originally from the Achterhoek, but for quite a few years now I’ve lived in Arnhem, close to the city center. In my free time, I enjoy grabbing a coffee in town, taking a walk through Sonsbeek Park, or heading out for dinner.

I’m really looking forward to helping the Picqer engineering team build even better software for our users!

Leonie Smit

Hi, I’m Leonie, and since February 1st I’ve been working at Picqer as a Support Specialist. Before this, I worked in customer service for a furniture webshop. There, I was also involved in optimizing the processes behind the scenes. I’ll now be helping my new colleagues deliver the best support, so we can make Picqer even better!

In that previous role, I came across Picqer for the first time. As a customer, I reached out to Picqer’s support team—and had such a positive experience that it led me here. The great software, friendly team, and calm atmosphere made Picqer the perfect place for me.

I live with my elderly cat Bibi in the oldest city in the Netherlands: Nijmegen. Outside of work, I love reading (mostly fiction), gardening, and going on walks. With spring around the corner, I’m looking forward to getting the garden back in shape! And now that the new Formula 1 season has started, you’ll often find me spending my weekends (shouting) at the TV.

I’m excited to dive deeper into Picqer and contribute to providing the very best support!
