Dion is known for setting up new starters in record time — under 20 minutes, with maximum efficiency and minimal drama. From his three‑monitor command centre, complete with cheat sheets and a strategically placed stapler, he keeps systems running smoothly (approach from behind at your own risk). Outside of work, he can be found woodworking, gaming, or mentally coaching Ajax Amsterdam from the sidelines.

With a talent for turning even the most chaotic conversations into perfectly organised meeting notes, she brings clarity and calm to every onboarding journey. Outside of work, she can be found on the volleyball court calling ‘Mine!’ in the spirit of teamwork — or at home with her cat Saul Goodcat, the self‑appointed CEO of naps, chaos and surprise Teams appearances.”
