“Er zijn altijd nieuwe systemen en technieken die wij kunnen inzetten bij ons werk. We zijn telkens aan het innoveren, daardoor blijf ik mezelf uitdagen.”

“Wiskunde gaat over problemen oplossen met logica, niet over getallen. In mijn werk gaat vooral om het menselijk gedrag achter de cijfers. Dat voorspel ik met de modellen die ik bouw.”

“We hebben zo veel technieken en programmeertalen in huis. En we ontwikkelen steeds weer nieuwe producten. Als IT’er kun je bij ABN AMRO onmogelijk vastroesten.”

“Wereldwijd is ABN AMRO een van de drie grootste clearing-partijen. Toch is ons team niet enorm, dát maakt het zo uniek om hier te werken.”

​​​“Het idee blijft dat je heel technisch moet zijn voor IT-werk. Toch zie ik dat anders: het is júist een creatief vakgebied.”

“De combinatie tussen probleemoplossend denken en technologie vind ik het leukste wat er is.”

“Verandering is de enige constante, en daarvoor moet je blijven leren, ontwikkelen en kijken of dingen anders kunnen.”
