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.
