After working in consulting and equipment rental, Erick Webbe joined bol.com about 8 years ago. Often acting as a translator, he bridges the gaps from management to merge requests and from academia to industry. Solving puzzles using technology is what he loves, especially if the solution requires a team effort to do it. At bol.com, he has built several data teams before becoming the advocate for data-driven working and opening the eyes of people of what machine learning can do. Erick tends to introduce his kids as analogue machine learning projects, which might explain his growing emphasis on responsible use of AI.
