Data Expert • Product Owner • AI Enthusiast

Hi, I'm Guus van de Plasse

I bridge the gap between data and product. With 5+ years in product ownership and 5+ years in data analytics, I build digital products that are informed by data and loved by users.

About Me

As a seasoned professional in product management and data analytics, I'm dedicated to building the best digital products. I combine hands-on technical skills with the soft skills gained across product management roles.

I've led international scrum teams, implemented custom search algorithms, driven app growth strategies, and built data products ranging from single analyses to full dashboards. I thrive in roles that sit at the intersection of data and product.

I actively use AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate my work — from automating data pipelines and generating analysis code to building prototypes and writing product specs. I believe AI fluency is a core skill for modern product and data professionals.
