Jessie de Groot

Head of People & Culture at Weaviate

Hi there, my name is Jessie and I'm the head of People & Culture at Weaviate.

I believe people are the foundation of a company, that's why I see it as my mission to make sure that our colleagues feel part of Weaviate, that they have fun and are happy working with us.

I'm passionate about company culture and about creating & sustaining a great employee experience.

In my free time I love to cook & eat (good combination :)), I like to practice Barre, discover new places (in the world), drink coffee and enjoy reading books.
