About 227 Data
Since 2001, the 227 companies have focused on providing high-quality services in the areas of executive search, recruitment, and interim mediation services.Initially, our activitiets were focused on the content industry, and we served renowned clients in the media and publishing sector under the names 227 Search and later 227 Media. Our founder Geert Meijer also has deep roots in the data-driven content industry, as does partner Peter Hendriks. Both held various management positions within this sector at companies such as Wolters Kluwer and Springer (now Springer Nature).
2015 - 227 Learning & 227 Data
In 2015, we expanded our expertise with the launch of 227 Learning, an executive search and recruitment company specializing in the niche market of (E-)Learning. Our clients include educational publishers, e-learning companies, Edtech firms, training companies, training agencies, knowledge institutes, and educational institutions. In the same year, we launched 227 Data, one of the pioneers in the field of data analytics professionals. We connect mid-level and senior data analytics experts in the Netherlands with prominent clients, ranging from large corporates and scale-ups to SMEs. We also have many clients within the government and non-profit sectors.
2024 - 227 Data Leaders
As data analytics is becoming a cornerstone of modern business and governance, we have seen a surge in leadership roles within this domain. Organizations are increasingly considering positions such as Chief Data Officer. Even more organizations have had a VP Data or Director of Analytics for some time and Team Leads for newly formed data teams. It is precisely for these positions and candidates that we launched 227 Data Leaders in June 2024. Over the past few years, we have successfully completed dozens of assignments for leading data positions, solidifying our reputation as specialists in this field. At 227 Data Leaders, we focus entirely on this.
Building the future of 227 Data
Since April 2025, Christiaan van Bueren has been strengthening the 227 Data team as Business Unit Director. Under his leadership, we will continue to grow in connecting senior data professionals to impactful organisations, guided by our core values: expertise, experience, and personal attention.
With ten years of experience in the Data & Analytics domain, we specialize in staffing solutions for SAS professionals. This is a market in which we have built up a great deal of substantive knowledge in recent years and have a solid network of both professionals and clients.
At the same time, we have recently started to combine the strengths of 227 Data and 227 Learning even more actively, enabling us to support learning-focused companies more effectively with Data & AI challenges. In doing so, we continue to evolve as a specialist at the intersection of data, technology, and learning.
