Pieter Zwart

Pieter's resume is remarkably empty. He barely has any experience in paid employment, because as a Business Administration student, he founded Coolblue with two friends in 1999.

Their goal? Building an example company in customer-centric entrepreneurship.

By now, over 5,000 Coolbluers work there, divided across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, and the company has a revenue of 2.6 billion euro.
