Episode 67 - Camiel Slaats, CEO, MYLAPS Sports Timing - a podcast by Mass Participation World

We finish the Aid Station this week in Amsterdam talking to Camiel Slaats, CEO, MYLAPS Sports Timing.



COVID-19 has had a massive impact on the timing industry but to some  degree MYLAPS, as a market leader, are fortunate to have the diversity  of also providing solutions for motor sports which is now back in  action.



"We have an office in China so we saw it coming and  were able to be prepared, especially from a health and safety  perspective which is the most important to safeguard our employees".  Some have had to be furloughed but ensuring their financial well-being  has also been key.



Camiel shares how communication has been a  priority including contacting customers to help them with payment plans.  "We want to take care of them and support them when they need us".



Innovation has also been a focus. "We were able to come up with some  new initiatives very fast. Giving ownership to the staff is important  and as a result we saw a lot of creativity" One of those initiatives was  outsourcing staff to companies that are very busy which has created a  win:win:win.



Camiel is very excited about the future "there are  more runners and cyclists than ever before so I am very confident of  the future for our industry"
