Profession
Since I started in the financial services industry, digitalization has been my profession and I still enjoy implementation of innovations and delivering improvements. It's always fantastic to see how technology can simplify and speed up business processes, frees up resources for more meaningful activities.
​
Migrating a business process to the digital world and adapting its operating environment is always an exciting challenge that requires courage and almost always a cultural shift towards a mindset of change.
​
While domain knowledge is essential, successful transformations require more, the combination of comprehensive IT background with solid understanding of the business processes to be digitalized.
The combination of the two is a rarely found excellence, but crucial to managing different stakeholders and understanding their viewpoints, needs and demands. It is precisely this skill that has predestined me to lead transformations, programmes and changes, not to mention the task forces and turnaround initiatives I have been involved in many times in my career.

This excellence applied and refined over the years in the financial services industry makes me somewhat unique.
