Founder

After my Masters (Drs.) in Business Economics at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam the Netherlands with a specialization in Internal Organization, I started my career in Telecoms where I have occupied various roles ending up in b2b product development and implementation.

In 2006, I began my new career as an entrepreneur and independent consultant. Since then I have been starting up new initiatives whilst developing and implementing b2b-telecom products for a dozen telecom and internet providers.

My start-up activities have provided me specific knowledge of modern IT and Security technologies. This, combined with the variety of IT and network technology required to implement telecom products, has been a very welcome basis for my role as a general project manager, managing broad projects from integrating complete datacenters, embedding a new corporate brand globally, to managing the complete fit-out of a new EMEA headquarters in London for a global company, including design, civil works and all of the IT and Security systems.

Special achievements:

• Developed and implemented the first secure IP-based transport services connecting payment devices at the physical points of sales with the payment processing infrastructure of the key Dutch payment providers.
• Starting up an item-selling online game publishing company from scratch, partnering with overseas South Korean game developers after visiting various game companies in Korea and from attending Korean’s biggest annual game trade show in 2006 and 2007 as a b2b exhibitor.
• Developed and implemented the first Currence certified PIN over DSL in the Netherlands.
• Developed and implemented the first secure PIN-transport services over (COAX) cable in the Netherlands.

What others say:

“When working on large scale projects, in which complexity, resources and time were always the challenge, the expertise and pragmatic approach of Ferry’s way of working often ‘saved the day’. Ferry does not only have all neccessary skills, but also has a fast network in the industry, which eventually saved a lot of time & money. A true professional with a high output, and also important; a very pleasant person to work with.”

“Ferry has been of great value in a worlds-first development of acquiring a payment transaction licence on Cable. With his contacts and knowledge, we were able to launch this service including certification by all Dutch banks within 1/2 year time. The service was about giving customers the ability to connect their payment terminals to the CATV network.”

Dutch recommendations:

“Ferry is een fijne en intelligente man om mee te werken. Geen standaard blabla consultant. Hij weet echt waar hij het over heeft en zorgt ervoor dat de organisatie in alle niveaus meedoet. Ferry doet het, anderen willen het ™.”

“Ferry heeft meermaals complexe projecten m.b.t. het certificeren van datacomproviders voor Currence gedaan. In een vaak lastige omgeving met veel verschillende stakeholders. Al die projecten heeft hij tot een goed einde gebracht. De kracht van Ferry is, dat hij complexe situaties goed overziet, alle stakeholders aangelijnd houdt, het einddoel en de planning goed bewaakt en self starting is.”
