I'm a software architect living in Holland. From where I try to escape whenever I can. I love most things about life, and leave myself strategically unaffected by the rest.
I work for these guys and myself.

Lead & Loyalty Architect @ iProspect

Summary
Positioned right between marketing and IT, I help develop effective strategies that leverage the power of both. Currently focussing most on CRM/Lead & Loyalty and media data platforms.
The unique possibilities of these times allow for a far more intricate and engaging relationship between consumer and companies.. but how to structure these? how to monetize these? and most importantly, how to integrate them with business processes and existing competetive advantages?
