Niels-Huijpen
Profile

My strength lies in "translating" subject matter in an understandable way for internal and/or external stakeholders.

Consider for example, managers, board members, compliance and risk officers, legal employees, IT employees and of course third parties such as accountants and regulators. My approach is characterized by being able to quickly assess the current state of affairs and the (legally) desired situation. Due to my background in audit, risk, supervision, but also as a manager, I am able to provide pragmatic advice, feasible improvement plans and practical hands-on support during implementation.

I have extensive experience in the implementation and monitoring of various legal, compliance and risk frameworks and (international) standards at all kinds of financial institutions. Originally I have a background as an IT Auditor and therefore I am experienced in the field of internal controls, sound business operations, information security and outsourcing.
