We started Connective Payments in 2014 because of our joint passion for payments and helping companies in the payments value chain create value for their business.

We are pleased to see that our approach of co-creation is working well to bring success to the organizations we serve. We act as team players and we leverage our industry knowledge within our customer’s team.

I like to co-create and implement. Having worked for 30+ years in the payments industry, I have gained a deep expertise and an intensive international network. I worked in several roles at multiple companies of various sizes, as an individual as well as a team leader, both as employee and contractor, on the business as well as IT side, or in between.
I am result driven, perseverant, pragmatic, with a good sense of humour, strong communication skills, a sense of political environments, and always eager to learn. I am therefore able to create / co-create value and to implement new functionalities / product propositions. Working for Connective Payments with business partners who share the same values but different expertise, is absolutely great.
In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music (visit pinkpop.nl!), watching soccer, traveling, dining in a good restaurant, and spending time with my family.

My work is positioned on the intersection between ICT-law and financial legislation. I deal with the legal aspects of technology and the financial supervision requirements, including e-commerce, consumer protection and privacy.
After a nearly 10 year employment by a PSP, since 2011, I have provided legal services to many parties in the payments value chain: exempt and licensed payment institutions, electronic money institutions, gift card issuers, terminal suppliers, technical payment service providers and merchants.
In nearly every project, paperwork needs to be taken care of. Legal paperwork. Let me deal with your contracts, terms and conditions, negotiate about them or analyse your rights, obligations and related opportunities under an existing agreement. Let me support you in obtaining or maintaining a PI-license or guide you when you’re looking for alternatives.

When I started in Payments I knew that I had found my topic. For more than 10 years I worked as product manager from cash to cards to mobile at banks and startups.
Payment solutions have become part of a bigger story. As an integral part of the shopping experience, payments need to be seamless or almost invisible to end consumers. It means that payments as a subject have become more interesting. Experience in customer centric thinking while at the same time understanding IT and legal/compliance is vital to our clients.
For me it means that I continuously develop myself on all these aspects. With my network I support you to ultimately bring value to your clients. That is why I am part of the Connective Payments team! – Expertise – Network – Value.

It is easy for me to make contact with other people and I am very clear in my communication. In my work I am very structured, I stand for high quality and am not satisfied with less.
