Product Owner @ LIZY in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium

About us

We are reshaping the €70bn European car leasing business, one of the largest yet-to-be disrupted markets. The traditional car leasing industry is slow, complicated and expensive. 

At LIZY, we’re changing that. We’re making the process of ordering a car through as easy as ordering a toaster on Amazon. Our ambition is to become the European leader in digital car leasing.

LIZY is a well funded (€10M+) startup with off-the-charts revenue growth (>300% per year) and an amazing team of 40+ A-players.

Fun (Have it): Enjoy the ride – life is short.

Feedback (Give it): Feedback is the breakfast of champions. Always assume positive intent.

Personal Growth (Master it): Never stop learning and improving.

Wow (Deliver it): Actually make our customers say “WOW”.

️‍♂️ Drive (Show it): Show commitment and bring everything you have. Do what you say and say what you do.
