Paul Bastowski is a pragmatic technology leader and General Manager with 11 years in senior roles and over three decades of hands-on development experience dating back to the 1980s. At StartMail he translates strategy into measurable delivery—restructuring teams, appointing key leaders, and steering the company to product and financial goals while shifting focus to growth and customer acquisition. He blends deep technical credibility (front-end architecture, Vue/Nuxt, Node) with strong coaching and people-management skills honed at ING, KLM and KPMG, where he led migrations and trained engineering teams. A longtime open-source maintainer (notably contributions to angular-meteor/angular2-now examples and docs), he still codes and champions simple, maintainable solutions. Colleagues know him for listening first, aligning teams around purpose, and accelerating delivery through pragmatic use of external partners. Based in Haarlem, he combines product-focused execution with a coach’s mindset to sustain culture as organizations scale.
