Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver May is a seasoned digital transformation and product leader with 16 years of experience specializing in geospatial software and public-sector digital services. Currently Product Owner for GIPOD at athumi and Digitaal Vlaanderen, he blends product strategy with hands-on technical background as a longstanding geospatial architect and developer on projects like Geomajas. He has a track record of introducing Agile/SCRUM practices, coordinating cross-functional delivery, and scaling GIS products from support through product ownership. Active in the open geospatial community as a board member of OSGeo.be and a PSC contributor, he pairs technical depth with civic-minded collaboration based in Ghent. An often overlooked strength is his continuity across roles—moving between hands-on development, operations management, and strategic advising—giving him rare end-to-end perspective on building and sustaining public digital services.
