A new organisational structure to accommodate growth and culture

Having grown into a 140+ strong team in the Netherlands, Digital Power has set its sights on international expansion. Consultancy.eu sat down with our Amsterdam-based director Erik van der Kooij and London-based leader Ian Gardiner to discuss the firm’s foray into the British and German markets and how it helps the firm build its profile and talent base.

In July 2016, CEO René de Boer started the adventure with Digital Power. At the time, the team consisted of 18 talented employees who worked for a handful of clients. Data-driven work became a theme in more and more organisations. René found exactly what he was looking for at Digital Power: a combination of a future-oriented (growth) market and an organisation where he could really make a difference as an entrepreneur. He explains how, in five years, Digital Power grew into a team of over 120 professionals with a broad client portfolio.

Since its foundation, Digital Power has been going fast. The Amsterdam-based agency is growing like crazy and has a long list of well-known names among its clients. However, one thing remains the same: data may be the specialism, but in the end it is all about the people. "From an unknown player we have grown into the data partner of many companies, but our team still feels like a family", says Business Manager Erik van der Kooij.

At the 'MKB Data Science Top 50', 50 agencies competed for the title 'the fastest-growing SME data science agency in our country'. Even before the event, we heard that we were in the top 3! During the Den Bosch Data Week, Marieke got to pitch our organisation.

To provide the services of Digital Power in the best possible way, we need consultants and also staff: Digital Power has a marketing team, recruitment team, financial team and a commercial team. The commercial team consists of the Commercial Manager, Business Managers and Account Managers. But what exactly do you do as a member of the commercial team? And what is the difference between an Account Manager and a Business Manager? Listen to the podcasts or find out in the article below.
