Cycling and business software might seem distinct, but they share a common foundation: the power of teamwork and collective acceleration toward goals. As title sponsor of Team Visma | Lease a Bike, we proudly support them with data and cutting-edge tech – so they can focus on what they do best: winning races.

‘Accelerate together' captures the spirit of this partnership: bringing together our software expertise, passion for cycling, and belief in teamwork's power.

At Visma, we also bring together diverse talents from across the globe to tackle challenges together. Much like a cycling team, each member of Visma contributes their unique strengths to help us reach our collective goals.

This year, we’re asking our employees to reflect on what 'accelerate together' means to them on a personal level. Individuals with the most inspiring stories earned the chance to have their names featured on the official Tour de France jerseys! We began last week with Katerina Kolbu and Nick Sesink, whose stories of perseverance and teamwork set the stage.

Now, we highlight and congratulate Kevin Boone from Teamleader and Jaïr Korf de Gidts from Yuki as our next winners!

Kevin Boone, Brand Studio Manager at Teamleader, draws an interesting parallel between the way Visma companies work together and the dynamics of a cycling peloton. He sees Visma's business units as a team of riders working in unison. "Accelerate together means moving as one," says Kevin. "Our teams take turns leading, supporting each other, and building momentum together."

Kevin also emphasises the significance of strategic unity at Visma: "We share knowledge, avoid repeat mistakes, and create real progress together." His insights remind us that teamwork builds trust, aligns efforts, and ultimately benefits our customers.

For Jaïr Korf de Gidts, Content Marketing Specialist at Yuki, 'accelerate together’ brings an image of tandem cycling – a combination of fun, synchronisation, and shared progress. He captures how mutual trust and aligned goals power collective achievements. "Alone, we might pedal," he observes, "but together, we propel."

Kevin and Jaïr's perspectives celebrate the collaborative spirit across Visma. They demonstrate that whether in software and business or grand sporting events like the Tour de France, our collective efforts drive us further and create deeper impacts.

Keep an eye out for their names on the Tour de France jersey and join us next time as we unveil more outstanding contributors who exemplify the 'accelerate together' spirit at Visma. Stay tuned!
