Frits Polman

Managing Director

I founded Guide ID in 2003 with the idea to bring cultural information to as many museum visitors as possible. I'm a creative person and have lots of ideas for the companies future. Sometimes so many that I drive the rest of the Guide ID team crazy once in a while. I, of course, love my three kids, as well as playing tennis, snowboarding, hanging around with friends and travelling to other countries.

Petra Brinkhof - de Rijk

Global Sales Manager

After 13 years of working in the international giftware business, I switched to the far more inspiring heritage world in 2005. In this sector I can combine commercial activities and my interest in art. I have a Masters in French and literature. Besides visiting museums, I love theater and concerts. Me and my husband have three kids, who love sports. At the weekend we either support the kids or do sports ourselves.

Xaver von Treyer

Business Manager Germany

Born and raised in Italy, I relocated to Germany in 1988. I briefly left to get my Audio Engineering Diploma in Sydney and lived in Berlin ever since. I can proudly say ‘I am a Berliner’. For 20 years I was just a record producer, audio engineer and DJ, but 6 years ago I was thrown into the world of exhibitions by chance and I love it. Art, culture & technology really drive me. I like the challenge of diving deep into exhibition themes with the client and find the best possible solution to create a lasting visitor experience. I also love to ride bikes like I stole ‘em…

Mark Hattink

Head of software development

After my studies, I rolled into a programming project for Guide ID and since never left. Computers, graphic design and music are some of my many hobbies besides playing pinball and pachinko (パチンコ). I also like to visit concerts/festivals and the cinema. As a tech guy I don't really care for sports either, the only sports in my life is karting.
Sometime in the future I hope to visit Japan. It's one of the few countries that really attracts me. じゃね !

Hugo Klaassens

Development Team

Originally from the game design world, I figured out programming for games and for ‘real’ projects isn’t so different at its core. Creating code ‘puzzle pieces’ and putting them together to form a user-friendly ‘picture’ is what I enjoy doing, and I’m happy I can do lots of it here at Guide ID.
In my free time I enjoy playing games, watching various flavors of TV series, reading books in a park when there’s good weather, and ice skating in winter.

Taco Wannee

Development Team

For more than 20 years I'm developing software, always keeping the user experience in mind. I did a great job designing software for cash registers for hairdressers, which I built from scratch and is now used by more than 300 hairdressers in the country.
Here at Guide ID I'm also working on software that is reliable and works smoothly.
Besides work I like to spend time with my family. We all like to go to museums, so with our Museumcard we go to museums frequently.

At Guide ID I’m working on the firmware inside the electronic devices. In my freetime I play korfball in Enschede. When I’m not busy with sports I’m usually playing games with friends, or watching a serie or good movie on my beamer at home. Of course in combination with a nice cold “Weizen” beer.
