The power of initiative and ownership

Bas van der Veen, Senior Engineer

In this video, we meet Bas van der Veen, a passionate Engineer at Solvinity. Bas shows how initiative, ownership and expertise come together in his work – accelerating not only his own growth, but also driving the organization forward as a whole.

From identifying to improving When Bas joined Solvinity, he quickly noticed something: the team lacked clear insight into the prioritization of SLA tickets. Instead of waiting for change, he took the initiative to investigate. How could he make the work more transparent? By creating a dashboard and taking on an active role as service coordinator, he brought structure and clarity to the process. “This makes it easier for the team to get things done,” he says. A great example of how taking initiative leads to visible improvement.

Valued expertise Bas’s technical insights didn’t go unnoticed. His dashboard solution was discussed with several managers and is now gaining traction at the organizational level. It’s a recognition of his expertise, but also of Solvinity’s culture: where ideas – no matter how small – are taken seriously and can grow into valuable innovations. “It’s great to hear that you can really move forward based on your expertise,” he says.

Growth with direction At Solvinity, you chart your own course – and get the space to follow it. Bas actively discusses his development path with his manager and knows where he’s heading. That combination of autonomy and support helps employees shape and achieve their ambitions.

A culture of trust and development Bas’s story is inspiring because it shows how personal growth and organizational progress go hand in hand. At Solvinity, initiative is rewarded, expertise is valued, and development is encouraged. The result is a work environment where employees can truly make a difference – for themselves, their teams, and their clients.
