About
Organisations going through major IT or Operational change need someone who can hold the complexity and still keep things moving. That's what I do. As an independent interim IT and Operations director, I work with organisations where the stakes are real — critical infrastructure, regulated environments, tight deadlines. My current engagement: leading a full on-premises to Azure migration for a European transmission system operator, with a hard go-live. Before that: IT or Change leadership roles at TenneT, Eneco, Travix and ProximusNXT, across energy, utilities, IT services and high-volume travel operations. What I bring to an assignment is straightforward: I make decisions with the information available, I take ownership of outcomes rather than activity, and I keep my eye on what the organisation needs to look like after the transformation — not just during it. I've built and led IT teams, driven cloud adoption, operating models and governance frameworks, and managed change programmes in environments where stakeholders range from engineers to regulators to board level, in both local and global settings. I work as partner of "De Interim Club". If you're navigating a complex IT or Operational challenge, or just want a sharp outside perspective, feel free to reach out.Companies I worked with:➢ TenneT ➢ Eneco Home Energy ➢ Travix ➢ ProximusNxt NL (previously: Telindus)➢ Aegon, Aegon Asset Management➢ ING, ABN AMRO, Vesting Finance, BelastingdienstMy specialities are: ➢ (re)structuring➢ Transformation and Change management➢ IT management (CIO, Head of IT, IT Manager)➢ Operations management (COO, Head of Operations, Operations Manager)➢ Lean and Agile transformation and management➢ Business process improvement➢ Program and project management

Education

Technical Computer Science
Graduation topic: Design By Construction - Constructing a Conceptual Design of an IT system for a Shared Service Center with Patterns. A formal design that allows business rules to be represented in a conceptual design, so that the design can be checked on formal correctness. Between 1994 and 2001 my study activities were on hold. This pause allowed me to get current on the latest insights on business and technique.
