Summary
Ines Van Dijk is a founder and researcher building the professional infrastructure for customer support, translating five decades of linguistics, cognitive science, and organizational psychology into usable competency frameworks and credentialing. With 11 years of hands-on experience across technical support, QA, and WordPress development at companies like Automattic, she combines deep technical fluency (PHP, Zendesk/Help Scout) with rigorous research practice. She authored The Customer Support QA Playbook and leads the Customer Support Research Lab, where she’s developing the Conversational Integrity Model and CRIT diagnostic methodology. Unusually for the field, she pairs practitioner-facing products (the upcoming CSE Assessment) with academic-style publication and institutional affiliation, making support work legible and portable across organizations. Based in the Netherlands, she’s equally comfortable opening GitHub issues for product bugs and designing credential systems that measure what actually matters.
