🧔🏻 Our co-founders | Jeremy Raes & Guido Van Beek

Almost a decade ago, a team of two young innovative, and aspiring minds decided to take a leap towards success in establishing a software development company in Netherlands. Coming from the Technical University of Delft, Jeremy Raes and Guido van Beek obtained a deep-rooted passion for technology and saw the potential it possessed to change our lives for the better. The unique combination of Jeremy’s business acumen and drive to achieve success and Guido’s impeccable talent for software engineering and clean code turned out to be the golden formula for creating the app development startup “Lizard Apps” in 2012, a Rotterdam IT company. This aspirational startup grew out to be the international success currently known as Lizard Global.


Carrying a profound love for South-East Asia, Lizard Global is in close contact with the technical university of Malaysia, where we provide fellow tech lovers with educational software development internships, from junior to senior level.

🐾 The Lizard origin


The name “Lizard Global” (formerly Lizard Apps) is derived from the extraordinary ability of lizards to adapt themselves to their surroundings and environment at any time. Next to that, in Western European culture, lizards are seen as robust and exotic animals, carrying an almost magical status. Almost a decade later, we’ve grown into the name and we’re feeling closely connected to the animal. That’s why we’re proud to call ourselves part of the Lizard Family, showcasing our team spirit to the world.


In 2019 we changed the name “Lizard Apps” to Lizard Global. As our client base expanded globally and service offerings expanded beyond the other Rotterdam IT companies, it only made sense to rebrand accordingly. Unlike other software companies, we don’t just develop applications anymore but provide a lot of additional services, such as technical consultancy, growth strategies, CRM integrations, and digital workshops.


With more than 13 different nationalities in our offices in Rotterdam and Kuala Lumpur, we can undoubtedly call ourselves a global team. We’re a proud melting pot of cultures, backgrounds, and religions, brought together by our passion for technology, satisfying our clients, and growing a successful business. We’re already looking for additional inspiring locations in Belgium, Singapore, Australia, the US, and Indonesia (Bali) to broaden our Lizard territory further across the globe.
