About Me

I've 8+ years of consulting and industry research experience in the field of Data and Artificial Intelligence and have delivered high-quality projects around Data Platforms, Enterprise-wide Data Governance, Advanced Analytics and Customer Analytics solutions with strong application-oriented and customer-oriented thinking. In the course of my career, I've also worked in a multitude of industry research projects at a leading automotive manufacturer and also co-founded a preventive healthcare startup based in The Netherlands.

Currently, at EY, I facilitate clients in becoming a data-driven organization. My core work revolves around defining A.I./ Data Strategy, functioning as an IT - Business liaison, deriving functional, business and technical requirements, and leading the implementation for enterprise-wide digital transformation projects.

Larger enterprises have traditionally struggled with putting a foot on the door when it comes to cutting-edge technology adoption like Artificial Intelligence, BI & Big Data Analytics, which is where I come in.
