The Changefied team

We focus on developing gamified social solutions using, for example, Virtual Reality (VR) technology.

We recognize that not everyone has sufficient opportunities to learn in order to fully participate in all facets of our society. We want to change that with the help of serious gaming!

Our mission is to create equal opportunities to learn for everyone, regardless of one's background or abilities. Our solutions enable people to gain new learning experiences, develop skills and grow at their own pace.

CEO

Tim van Dam

Throughout my career in IT, I have always had a passion for the social aspect of technology. With Changefied, we aim to place special emphasis on the positive social impact of technology, with a particular focus on virtual reality (VR) and gamification.

I find it fantastic to see that through innovative and creative solutions, we can teach skills to people who were previously on the sidelines, enabling them to fully participate in society. At Changefied, we are constantly searching for new opportunities to share our knowledge with those who need it. For us, professional success is inseparably linked to social engagement and the ambition for a truly inclusive society

Lead Software Engineer

Erik Welling

I was still in the midst of my bachelor's degree in Game Technology when I was asked to participate in the development of Virtual Public Transport. For me, serious gaming turned out to be the perfect intersection between game development and traditional software creation. It allows me to work with all the aspects that make game development enjoyable while also enabling us to have a real impact on society and vulnerable demographics.

In July 2023, we branched out independently. Witnessing our young company grow fills me with energy, and it's exciting to see the potential both for Changefied and for the individuals we can assist with it.

By now, I have completed my master's thesis and am nearing the completion of the master's program in Game & Media Technology. I am ready to dedicate myself even more intensely to the development of our solutions.

Chief Value Officer

Karin Kleingeld

At Changefied, I apply my extensive experience in value strategy and realization to enhance our growth and impact. My role involves boosting value growth, from strategy to practice, and supporting our mission to develop innovative solutions such as Virtual OV. Additionally, I bring my expertise in sustainable value growth to Changefied.

I am convinced that our innovative approach and focus on social impact make a significant contribution to the future of education and the self-reliance of vulnerable groups. This involvement reflects my belief that entrepreneurship and social responsibility go hand in hand.

Marketing and communication

Jade van 't Veer

After completing my Marketing Communication studies,
I thought it would be fine to take a gap year, 'Just to see what I really want'. Then I ended up at Changefied and I already knew for sure that the gap year would remain a gap year. Also because Changefied is a company that strives to involve everyone in society, which I found to be an important point.

I get my energy from helping and supporting companies in maintaining their social media and website, branding, and communication with customers.

At Changefied, I focus on developing targeted marketing strategies that support our mission: creating equal opportunities for everyone to learn and develop.

Joke de Haan
Behavior Specialist

Joke de Haan

With a Master's in Special Educational Needs (SEN) and years of experience as a behavior specialist, I am passionate about creating learning environments that promote student development.

My work focuses on integrating Gert Biesta's three domains of purpose in education: qualification, socialization, and subjectification. I believe that education is not just about knowledge, but also about personal growth and social participation. My mission is to make education meaningful, enabling students to develop into active and engaged citizens.

As the initiator of Virtual OV, I am committed to innovative educational methods that align with the needs of our modern society. Together with Changefied, we strive to make a positive impact in education and contribute to the future of our students.

3D Modeler

Thomas Korver

I was looking for a job in the 3D world where I could express my passion for modeling and designing animations. In the newspaper, I read about Virtual OV and found it immediately very interesting. The educational aspect of this game particularly appealed to me. I sent an open application to Tim. There wasn't an immediate position for me, but I was so motivated that I kept in touch.

Now I've been the 3D modeler for all of Changefied's games for quite some time. I'm super happy about that! What I enjoy most about my work is that it's very diverse and that I can contribute to all aspects of the projects. This gives me great opportunities to further develop myself.
