Mike Van Der Hulst is a seasoned engineering leader with 13+ years building and scaling cross-functional software teams across retail, supply chain and fintech. Currently Head of Engineering at NN Group, he focuses on strengthening engineering craft and enabling teams to deliver business value faster and more reliably. As a founder and former CPO, he has hands-on experience turning SaaS visions into product-market fit, launching nearshore sites, and growing organisations from startup units to international operations. He thrives on simplifying complexity at the intersection of people, technology and product, and prefers scalable SaaS that feels like bespoke software. Technically fluent across web, mobile and cloud stacks (React/Node, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure) he also experiments with AI tooling like OpenAI/Gemini and RAG patterns. Outside work he channels the same discipline into running—so conversations about running or AI are equally welcome.
