Thorough. Critical. Quality-conscious. But with the ability to put things into perspective (after all, it's still a people-driven job).

The challenges (financial) companies face are great, complex and numerous. How to deal with the regulation by AFM and DNB? And with society’s sharply increased expectations about remuneration, diversity, sustainability, transparency and good corporate governance and regulation? Effective and efficient compliance with laws and regulations is the sum of commitment (‘We want to be compliant’), integrity (‘We’ll do the right thing, even when no one is watching’) and transparency (‘We do what we say and we say what we do’). In their pursuit of longterm value creation (and its preservation), sincere and well-managed organizations pay attention to the interests of all their stakeholders. I like to help them get there, by analysis, evaluation and advice, focusing on prevention. I can provide this based on my years of experience as a lawyer, regulator, compliance officer and internal auditor at the heart of the financial sector.
