'Dear developers, let's build the future of banking!'' Old or new fashioned, people want a different approach to banking. As a result, the industry (like many others) faces fundamental challenges in today's fast moving world. Customer behavior and expectations change rapidly, impactful regulations are introduced and new technologies rise every day. Adapting to these changes requires an organization to: (1) innovate, (2) be agile, (3) partner up, (4) realize continuous delivery. With grit and enthusiasm, I currently help ABN AMRO to run this distance to success. My ambition is to be a valuable leader in the development and implementation of digital change and innovation. A fascinating work-field; in which I like to team up, build stories which resonate, find the right business strategy and put big ideas into execution mode. Having initiated strategic developments on Internet and Mobile, I now focus to APIs. The reason? In the 2000s, you’ve surfed through websites for your digital channels. In the 2010s, you’ve used phone apps for your mobile channels. In the 2020s, you enjoy Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) embedded in every website and mobile application. APIs as such, have evolved from internal integration tools to ‘digital building blocks’ which connect organizations. Foreseeing big opportunities in the growth of digital ecosystems, I help to open up valuable capabilities via APIs, use those of others, and provide everything a developer needs to reinvent customer experiences. My goal? Speed up, build a future-proof bank, and innovate finance together. What will you build?
