Our team

Who we are

Dandelign began with a simple belief: giving back should be clear, personal, and impactful. Fascinated by this idea, two people from very different worlds set out to build a modern, transparent home for everyday giving. Thanks to a growing network of supporters and organisations, Dandelign is spreading little by little.

• Jan

  Co-Founder & Business Lead

  My journey back to the non-profit world comes full circle. Early in my career, I spent a year supporting an orphanage in Mexico—an experience that stayed with me through nearly two decades of international business leadership across Mexico, the UK, Japan, France and Germany. After years managing complex global supply chains and strategic partnerships as a corporate executive, I felt ready to channel that experience back into something deeply meaningful.

  My focus is on building relationships with charities, growing our community, and ensuring every donor finds a cause that truly resonates with them.

• Xavier

  Co-Founder & Technical Lead

  I've spent the last 15 years building robust digital platforms, solving complex engineering problems, and scaling software systems.

  For me, tech is at its best when it serves a real human need. At Dandelign, I focus on platform architecture, rapid prototyping, and using modern technology to make giving seamless, intuitive, and secure.

  I am also trying to implement all the crazy ideas that Jan comes up with every other day.

Dandelign is a growing network

Dandelign was built over hundreds of shared conversations, late-night brainstorming sessions, and daily face-to-face iteration. Not only between us, but with charities, organisations, donors, friends and a vast network of awesome people. That close bond shapes how we work every day: fast, transparent, and grounded in a genuine commitment to making the world a bit easier to support.

Dandelign is not simply an online platform, it is a growing network…
