Designing the future of retail

Bol is the leading ecommerce platform in The Netherlands, serving over 13 million customers and offering over 40 million items. As part of the Discover product team I helped our customers understand their needs and find what they are looking for.

My journey at bol began with diving into the world of Headless CMS, powered by Contentstack. This platform unlocked a world of efficient content management, allowing my team to seamlessly create and adapt experiences across our websites and apps.

With this newfound flexibility, we embarked on shaping various aspects of the bol ecosystem, designing campaigns, landing pages, and reusable components that resonated with our customers.

testimonial

“

Jan-Paul was instrumental in the development of the new CMS pages for bol. He brought a unique combination of editor-focused design, deep understanding of consumer behaviour, and meticulous attention to detail to the project. This resulted in a high quality end product that not only exceeded expectations, but was also way beyond a minimal viable product.”

Jan Willem Mathijssen, Project Lead at bol

“We saw significant uplifts in key metrics such as engagement and conversion rates, directly attributable to Jan-Paul’s work.”
