Experienced Enterprise Architect with a demonstrated history of working in the banking industry. Skilled in IT Data Strategy, Data Architecture, Meta-Data Management, Data Modelling for Relational and Non-Relational Databases, Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), and Project Portfolio Management. Strong Data-oriented professional graduated from TOGAF Certified architect.
After first being assigned as one of the first Enterprise Architects ever within Fortis Bank, I was now assigned as one of the first Enterprise Data Architects within ABN AMRO. I worked and work on several Data-oriented Future State Architectures and Architectural Standards, directing and instructing all architects within the bank the way of working regarding data related topics. Examples are the FSA Metadata Management, the FSA Reference & Master data Management, and some Data Modelling related Standards about the (NoSQL) types of Data Models, their positioning and associations. Exploring new Data features and trends in the outside world and evaluating its potential value for the Bank is required to be able to deliver these architectures. Since 2022 I focus more on Data Integration, and also joined the DAMA NL Workgroup Data mesh.
Together with some other Enterprise Architects responsible for the delivery, improvement and completion of the ABN AMRO Service Component Model, the Enterprise architectural model that determines the structure of the ABN AMRO IT Landscape for 2020, covering all banking capabilities and guiding the scope, positioning and exchanges between the IT Components.
In this period I worked as the leading architect of the SEPA Program; I was chairing the SEPA Design Authority, participated as member in the SEPA Center of Excellence and participated for Architecture in the Program Management Team of the SEPA Program. Some of the architectural deliverables are the assessment of the SEPA Compliancy for the whole Bank (including subsidiaries and all International Branches), the determined SEPA/IBAN IT Principles and the evaluation of Architecture within the SEPA Program.
Worked as the FBN project architect on the ICT integration of the Retail Bank part of the ABNAMRO (BU NL) and Fortis (Fortis Bank NL).
In this period I was involved in several kind of Data Management activities: In the complete period I was the Data Administrator responsible for maintaining the SPRINT/WPO datamodel, containing all persistent data for the VSB/Fortis Retail Bank NL. In 1997 I worked on the realisation of a BancAssurance Corporate Data Model (combination of the AMEV and VSB Bank logical data models); realized but never implemented because of the Fortis Banking integration (after Mees Pierson joined Fortis). In 2004 I founded and chaired the Fortis Data Mgt Circle (with participants from BE and LU) to align Data Management Principles, Standards and (leading) Data Structures to enable the International integration. From 1998 until 2008 I was involved in several kinds of Data Mgt. oriented activities together with the Mees Pierson Data Administrators.
Several kinds of architectural projects: Examples are the Fortis NL Mortgages integration project and the alignment of the interactions between Fortis applications and the new Card Mgt package for VISA NL (ICS) and (KKB) Betafin.
In this period I worked on several architectural projects, dealing with the integration of VSB Bank (Banking) and AMEV (Insurance) resulting in the first Fortis BancAssurance implementations. Deliverables were the Information Architecture and Application Architecture of Fortis NL (and acting as one of the first Fortis architects ever).
