New to the team: Jesper & Jules

This October, we welcomed two new colleagues to the Picqer team. With Jesper and Jules joining the Product team, we’ve added fresh energy and expertise. They’re happy to introduce themselves:

Jesper van Haaren

Hi, I'm Jesper! I started at Picqer on October 2nd as a Product Designer. I’ve been working in UX/UI design for over 10 years now, with the past 7 years at American startups. I’m excited to bring that experience and product mindset to the Product team here at Picqer.

I’m truly a product person. No matter how complex the product is, I believe that a great product should be easy to use and deliver a fantastic experience. I also believe in building inclusive and accessible products. I enjoy every part of the process—from identifying the problem to shaping the solution.

I live in Nijkerk with my wife, our 2-year-old son, and our French Bulldog. It’s a lovely place to live, right in the middle of the Netherlands on the beautiful Veluwe. I spend a lot of time outdoors. I love running, trail running, hiking, and camping during vacations. I also enjoy reading (both fiction and non-fiction), photography, and riding my motorcycle. And I never say no to flopping on the couch with a bag of popcorn and a good movie or Formula 1 race.

What really drew me to Picqer is its ‘calm company’ philosophy. No investors to report to—just a team of great people building a solid product at a healthy, steady pace. It doesn’t get better than that. What I hope to achieve at Picqer is to help create the best warehouse software out there. It may sound like a cliché, but I just want to help build a product that people genuinely love using.

Jules Holleboom

Hi, I’m Jules, and since October 2nd I’ve been working as a Product Manager at Picqer. Together with the Product team, I’ll be helping to further develop our warehouse software, so that webshops and fulfilment companies can enjoy working in their warehouse even more.

Since last year, I’ve been living by the coast in Wassenaar, where I also grew up, together with my partner and our two young sons. Outside of work, I get a lot of energy and inspiration from running and cycling—I love challenging myself. My ultimate goal is to run the Berlin Marathon one day with a fast time. But for now, I’m focused on changing diapers as quickly as possible and enjoying the early days of family life.

At work, I enjoy helping both customers and colleagues. I like digging into the root of problems and exploring multiple solutions—sometimes right down to the smallest details, because I believe those can really make a difference. That focus on both people and product is a big part of why I chose Picqer. You can see it in how user-friendly the software is. We’re also there for our customers and take feedback seriously. That’s pretty unique in the B2B world—but in my view, it’s exactly how it should be.

At Picqer, I hope to contribute to shaping a clear product vision and improving the feedback loop between customers, Support, and the Product team. That means I’ll be doing a lot of research—mainly by listening carefully to our customers and visiting warehouses regularly. See you soon!
