How and where you are raised, are part of the fundament of who you are. I grew up in my father’s car workshop where I spent my time tinkering with various computers supporting him and his competitors for whom computers were new. Here I learned that IT is supportive to the work people do. From watching my father dealing with his customers I learned the importance of good service.

Good service means the focus is on the needs of the customer. IT solutions do not exist for their own sake, they should ideally be nearly invisible: making life easier and more efficient without confusing its users or creating new problems. This is my view since my 14th, inspired by many sci-fi books, philosophy books and experience as an entrepreneur.

In my capacity of Antifragility Arhitect, which is a combination of an Enterprise Architect and a Security Architect, I strive to do exactly this.

In my capacity of Enterprise Architect & Enterprise Engineer I strive to transform existing organisations in such a way that there is room to evolve to an organic symbioses between people and IT.

In recent years my focus has been on anti-fragility, innovation, digital transformation, blockchain, internet of things, startups.

My Personality can be described in many ways amongst:
- "Myers–Briggs Type Indicator® ENFP (“Champion, Innovator, Campaigner”) with strong developed ENTJ (“Fieldmarshal / Executive”)
- Insights Discovery Profile® 47 Helping Inspirer (Accommodating)"
- “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.” - Coach Taylor

Projects

  • TopClass: high potentials ontdekken hun competentie

    -

    TopClass was een initiatief om jonge, veelbelovende professionals de kans te bieden te ontdekken wat hun sterke competenties zijn. Bij het uitvoeren van een groepsopdracht werden ze in verschillende rollen geplaatst en zo ontstond een natuurlijke verdeling op basis van reeds aanwezige competenties. Door intrinsieke motivatie zijn die competenties verder uitgebouwd.
