The challenges for Thijs

Thijs plays a crucial role as Tech Lead in a Risk and Finance team of more than 100+ specialists. His daily interactions with supervisors and regulators focus on accounting for progress and status within the bank.

Diversity of talent is a given within his team. Every role requires specific skills and technical expertise. As technologies evolve, it is essential to have team members who can keep up with and integrate these innovations. As a result, Thijs finds himself in a constant cycle of analysis and optimisation, with the goal always being to put the right talent in the right place.
