🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJurriaan Persyn is a product and engineering leader with 14 years of experience building and scaling high-volume web platforms, now serving as VP of Product at Timefold after senior product and CTO roles at Clarabridge and Engagor. He combines hands-on full-stack engineering (backend performance, realtime interfaces, integrations) with product leadership—shaping roadmaps, UX, and go-to-market integrations for messaging and social platforms. As a co-founder/CTO he grew engineering teams and drove a successful acquisition, and later translated that technical stewardship into product strategy at Qualtrics. He has a track record of shipping customer-facing features that move revenue (Clarabridge Engage exceeded a $10M ARR) while keeping close to engineering realities. Based in Ghent, he blends a pragmatic, systems-minded approach with a passion for UX and sustainable product outcomes. Outside work he channels curiosity and risk-taking into gravel cycling and creative inspiration from jazz and nature.
