Based on my broad experience in many different industries, I help organizations assess, develop and optimize their IT in order to establish operational efficiency and enterprise effectiveness. I consider IT as a business enabler for an efficient and effective operation. A significant part of my time is spend on supporting clients in improving reliability and effectiveness of business processes, including assessing used applications and controlling changes. I also have extensive experience as a project lead in technical IT implementation projects, which led to a profound knowledge of IT environments, information security, data-analytics and internal control and also enables me to translate technical issues to transparent risks. I hold a Master in business administration and an Executive Master in IT Auditing, which provides me with a clear understanding of both business and IT, and provide me with a rich skillset for operating on the edge of both worlds. Currently I work at KPMG as a senior manager in KPMG's Technology practice and specialize in GRC/IRM and ERP/SAP advisory. I serve clients in Industrial, Chemical and Oil-Gas industry as well as Consumer Markets. I lead the team of certified ServiceNow IRM implementation consultants. About KPMG IT Risk Advisory: KPMG helps organizations in designing, implementing and reviewing ERP/GRC/CA&CM systems and processes.
