About this site

Hi, I'm Camiel.

I'm a product and technology leader based in the Netherlands. As Chief Product Officer for Employer Services International at ADP, I lead the international product management organisation and product strategy for ADP's HR and payroll platforms across markets around the world.

What I work on

  • Product strategy at global scale. Enterprise HR and payroll products that have to work across dozens of countries, regulations and languages.
  • AI as a real product capability. Not demos, but applied, enterprise-grade AI that makes work easier for employees, managers and HR teams.
  • Building teams and culture. Product managers, engineers, AI specialists and designers working as one team.

People who work with me describe me as an energetic leader who guides teams into the future and leads by example. I see myself as a culture builder and a driver of change, and I want to be remembered as someone who delivered on his promises.

How I got here

I've been working with computers since the early nineties. I started my career in 2003 as a consultant at Accenture, moved into product roles, and spent a good part of my career leading product and technology teams in payments before taking on my current role at ADP.

What you'll find here

This site is my personal journal and the home base for my online presence. I write about:

  • Product: product leadership, AI and the future of work
  • Running: training, races and the occasional long run that didn't go to plan
  • Photography: landscapes, travel and whatever catches the light
  • Personal: tech, gadgets, my home lab and everything in between

Outside of work

I'm a husband and proud father of three. I run, I read, I photograph, and I tinker. I self-host a good part of my digital life, including my own Mastodon instance, and I'm an unapologetic Apple fan. I've lived in Oudewater, a small historic town in the Dutch Green Heart, with my family since 2006.
