Chaya Oosterbroek – SVP & GM
I’m Chaya Oosterbroek and together with Sanne I live in the beautiful city of Nijmegen. I really love to play soccer and explore the world. Diving into different cultures makes me smile and brings a lot of adventure and enrichment. I enjoy drinking a good glass of rum and spending time with my family and friends.
As SVP & GM of Yoast I will engage our teams to foster innovation and growth. I’m excited to move forward and get Yoast to the next level. On this journey I will embrace diversity, enable talent and create opportunities.
Will Earnhardt – Director of Engineering
Howdy! My name is Will Earnhardt and I live in Cary, North Carolina (USA) with my wife and two sons. I am a long-time WordPress core contributor, and I’m passionate about open source software. In my spare time I enjoy fixing/driving (and fixing again) my old Jeeps, and will never turn down an opportunity to go fishing.
As the Director of Engineering, I lead the teams responsible for building our WordPress plugins and Shopify app, and keep all the various systems running! I’m a troubleshooter at heart and love nothing more than crafting innovative solutions to challenging technical problems.
Niko Körner – Senior Director of Product
Hi all, I am Niko and based near Cologne in Germany. When I’m not working on the beautiful Yoast products with my team, I cherish spending quality time with my wonderful kids and wife. Additionally, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and attempting to spark my oldest child’s interest in Lego.
Since the start of 2024, I’ve taken on the responsibility of overseeing all Yoast products in my role as the Director of Product. This entails leading the product, SEO and UX/UI team, and we take pride in delivering new releases every other week throughout the year. Yoast stands out as an agile and ambitious company, deeply committed to its customers – a quality that resonates with me.
