🤗 Meet the Team / About us
The product team is currently 6 people strong – we’re a small bunch, but we get a lot done!
Pierre 💡
Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
Pierre is leading the product management team at HelloBetter. His move to mental health came from a realisation that most users from his previous company (8fit) were using the fitness app for their mental health rather than physical appearance. Before that, he was CPO of MONOQI and then General Manager of their B2B unit. Pierre studied Management at the LSE and at HEC Paris.

She is the responsible PM for the red squad in the Engineering setup.
Tanja 🧙
Product Manager
Having worked in various digital areas such as consulting, communication and operations, Tanja knew for some time already that product management was her cup of tea. With a Master's degree in Information Studies, which further deepened the various areas of product development, she joined HelloBetter in November 2021 and is the responsible PM for the blue squad in the Engineering setup.

🧠 How We Think & Work
Some of our principles for working together include:
- Our product decisions are “data-informed” not data-driven
- We believe in leading with empathy
- We believe in Involving users/patients in our product development
- We have a Growth mindset:
“In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” (Dweck, 2015)
- We value ownership and giving everyone enough space and autonomy to be able to grow
- We believe that everyone’s voice should be heard, and everyone’s perspective counts, no matter their seniority or hierarchy level
- We believe that mistakes are inevitable if you’re doing something worthwhile. “Failure” can be a valuable opportunity to receive feedback and learn.
- We walk the thin line between pushing innovation and respecting the regulatory processes and boundaries that are set for us
