About

Modern CFOs are redefining business impact—stepping beyond stewardship to become strategic partners, change agents, and value creators. The finance agenda today is about data, digital, and disruption—accelerating transformation, unlocking performance, and enabling a sustainable future. At EY, I bring this vision to life by leading Finance & Operations for Consulting Netherlands, heading our Finance Consulting practice, and driving global innovation in Business Planning, Reporting & Analytics. I also contribute to shape transformation across the Consumer & Health industry, and I’m passionate about advancing FP&A and coaching (future) CFOs to lead with confidence and impact. Let’s connect and shape the future of finance together. Feel free to reach out to me: [email protected] / +31 6 21252316.
