Joost Cassee

Few people know both software development and infrastructures like Joost. He is a systems thinker, innovative, without losing sight of the end goal.

Joost has the ability to get into complex matter in a very short time frame and become a respected expert. He has the talent of quickly understanding the user’s needs in these matters. He can communicate about it in a very clear and understandable manner, and in addition has the ability to sparkle the stakeholders’ enthusiasm in the process.

Joost is amongst the best I have met in my field so far. He knows how to drill down to the essence of things in a non-presumptuous and knowledgeable way, while leaving enough room for argumentation. He has an open mind, and is respectful to other opinions.

My relationship with Joost Cassee has benefited me and my projects beyond expectation. The process that Joost advised on helped transform development teams to become more self-organizing, cross-functional and autonomous. Joost is a product thinker with an innovative and Agile mind-set. He has incredible knowledge and uses this in a respectful way to team members and other stakeholders.

I have such an immense respect for Joost, not just because I think he is an incredibly smart person, but because he is humble about his knowledge and very respectful in his way of sharing it. The thing I find most inspiring about him is the fact that he is able to look beyond what people think they can do and encourage them and guide them into doing it.

Working with Joost is a pleasure. He always knowns to ask the right thought-provoking questions, and his suggestions are well substantiated. These qualities made Joost a great addition to our development team. I would not hesitate to ask him again for another project.
