“I have a broad background in different technology domains. In 2003 I started my IT-career as a software developer. During the years after I mainly led service management activities in medium size and large teams, ran large organizational change management programs and introduced innovative technologies like automation and artificial intelligence. Recent years I have focused on business improvements in a very competitive cable industry where innovation is key to what defines success. Process optimization, outsourcing and the introduction of artificial intelligence and robotics have played a pivotal role.

I am of the opinion that in all organisational improvements the employee should play a central role; technology and innovation must support the employee in the execution of his/her tasks. Only when technology is applied the correct way and process improvements are aligned, both employers and employees will benefit. I have shown multiple times that I can and will play a defining role when introducing software robots.“
