Profile

I have extensive experience with operational and substantive issues in the field of legal, compliance, organizational advice and risk management at financial organizations and multinationals.

I manage teams of analysts and projects that are part of recovery programmes intended to meet regulatory requirements. Because of my specific knowledge and ability to always maintain an overview, I quickly identify opportunities and achieve concrete results. I help institutions with license applications for Wtt and Wft activities (including trust, PSD2 and intermediaries in financial products).

Furthermore, I develop knowledge and awareness trainings in the field of AML, trust and PSD2 legislation and provide trainings to employees from all layers of a financial institution. I quickly adapt to new environments and facilitate decisiveness in organizations and projects. I am a senior spokesperson for the board and (senior) management and am experienced in communicating with regulators.

In my role as board member and advisor for charities, I have learned to collaborate with people with different cultures, religions, gender identities and sexual orientations and have learned to achieve results in all kinds of environments and cultures.
