After studying electrical engineering and completing a technical MBA, I moved into the IT world, first in the automotive industry as a software developer and later in the financial services industry. There I worked for several years as a consultant, project manager and solution architect for banks and insurance companies. Already at that time it became clear to me what an immense economic potential lies hidden in data. In the last 4-5 years, my focus shifted to projects in which data products are developed as enablers for our corporate strategy.
