I studied Business Information Technology at the University of Twente. I started my career as a business analyst in consulting in 2005 and have since gained over 12 years of experience in Service Industries across the globe. Currently I am a core member of the Financial Institution practice of A.T. Kearney focusing on Retail banking and Payments across Europe. 

My passion is to manage teams to solve complex strategic and organizational problems with a functional focus on digital strategy and organizational transformation. When asking my clients what they value most about the results I deliver they share their appreciation not only for the solution but also for the momentum I have created within their organization. The foundation of this pragmatic and entrepreneurial mindset was build during my years at the University of Twente.  

As a member of the BIT Advisory Board I bring the voice of the industry to faculty ensuring that the leaders of tomorrow are best prepared for the challenges that they will be facing.

Early 2009 I graduated from my Master Business Information Technology at the University of Twente. I joined Shell as an IT graduate in The Hague and Rijswijk, and worked in several Business Analyst roles within Shell IT for the first three years. After three years, I rolled off the graduate programme to become IT manager for the refinery of Pernis and the chemical complex in Moerdijk, being responsible for all office IT on both manufacturing sites. Currently back in The Hague as Senior IT Advisor for HR, with a special focus on HR Strategy, Data and Integration. This includes the replacement of our global ERP system with a SaaS solution, where I am leading the data preparations for our second implementation wave.

I am honoured to be part of the BIT Advisory Board, being a proud BIT alumna, but also because I strongly believe in the added value of a well-balanced IT and Management programme for the Dutch businesses. BIT graduates are bridge builders, and whether you decide to start your own business or work for one of the largest companies in the world, as a bridge builder you can really make a difference.
