Purmerend, North Holland, Netherlands
With over 25 years of experience at the intersection of Internal Audit, Risk Management, and Cybersecurity within highly regulated, international corporate environments (including ING and Adevinta), I act as a strategic advisor and critical sounding board at executive and board levels. My core strength lies in translating complex technological risks and large-scale digital transformations into clear, strategic business implications and long-term value creation. Having spent decades within the strictly monitored banking sector, I am fluent in the language of risk, compliance, and finance—making me uniquely qualified for a seat on Audit and Risk Committees. As a leader and board professional, I am a strong advocate for Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and human-centric governance: understanding the human dynamics, organizational culture, and behaviors behind the financial figures and compliance reports. I am currently transitioning into non-executive board roles (RvC/RvT) and am preparing to anchor my corporate expertise within the formal frameworks of modern governance.
