I am Chief Digital Officer at Van Lanschot Kempen. Van Lanschot Kempen is a specialist, independent wealth manager dedicated to the creation and preservation of wealth. Dating back to 1737, it is the oldest independent financial institution in the Netherlands, operating 4 business lines under 3 labels: Van Lanschot (private banking), Evi (digital investment advice) and Kempen (asset management and merchant banking).
The CDO is in charge of the digital transformation of Van Lanschot Kempen, including all business lines.
We are driving this transformation on multiple levels:
- introducing / enhancing digital client channels and advisor tooling, as well as automating internal processes,
- using state-of-the-art technology (through our own devops teams and in cooperation with fintech solution providers)
- while introducing a scaled agile way of working.

I have extensive experience in the (private) banking sector, having served in leadership roles ranging from business development to operations – in incumbent banks but also founding a fintech startup.
