Welcome to nohacks.show, a weekly podcast where smart people talk to you about better online experiences!

In this episode, we explore the empowered teams model in experimentation with Lukas Vermeer, Director of Experimentation at Vista, advisor at AB Smartly, and an "occasional public speaker". Lukas is an experienced experimentation practitioner specializing in designing and building the infrastructure and processes required to start and scale A/B testing to drive business growth. With a rich background in online experimentation and data science, Lukas spent eight years at Booking.com, where he grew the in-house experimentation team from four to thirty people and became the first Director of Experimentation at the company.

Join us as Lukas shares his insights on why the experimentation culture is so strong in the Netherlands, the challenges and benefits of the empowered teams model, and his journey from Booking.com to Vista. He also discusses his advocacy for making A/B testing accessible to people from various backgrounds. Expect to learn about building effective teams, fostering a culture of experimentation, and why sometimes, the best approach is to think outside the box.
