Steward van Treel
The bridge between technology, clients and creativity.
I plan, coordinate and deliver — on time, within budget, at eye level with clients, stakeholders and developers.
Three pillars.One point of contact.
What sets me apart from pure PMs and pure devs: I can do both — and I speak everyone's language.
Technical Depth
I build my own software, understand infrastructure and read code. Not a PM who nods — one who thinks.
PM · PO · Agile
MVP thinking, task breakdown, waste reduction. On budget, on time — in a language everyone understands.
Creative Eye
I recognise good design, can demand it and steer it. The PM who talks to design teams at eye level.
Career.
- Led highly complex projects in PM and PO roles — from requirements to go-live.
- Analysed, optimised and automated processes — embedding structure and professionalism long-term.
- Consistently delivered within budget and on time — often ahead of deadline.
- Stepped in as all-rounder when projects went off track and brought them back on course.
- Workshop preparation, independent client communication and on-site engagements.
- Classic PM combined with active development work — the foundation of my technical approach today.
- Intensive client communication: on-site meetings, direct coordination, autonomous working from day one.
My Expertise.
Alongside agency work, I independently build tools, prototypes and systems — because I want to understand how things work, and I don't stop when the workday ends.

Working with Steward was an absolute pleasure. His empathetic and reliable approach made collaboration genuinely enjoyable. He always took the time to explain the background behind decisions, and together we achieved a lot in a short time — including launching the new booking engine for kuoni.ch, lastminute.ch and helvetictours.ch.

Steward joined the account mid-cycle — and the difference was clear immediately.
