I started my career as a Cobol programmer on the IBM MVS operating system using the IMS-DB/DC database management system. After using dBase II/III/III+ and Foxpro I got introduced to the Oracle 6.1.7 RDBMS in 1994.
From that moment, I got more and more involved in Executive Information Systems, data warehousing and Business Intelligence. I have evolved from developer and analyst in several projects, to technical architect at Oracle into a enterprise data and BI architect at one of the largest pension administration firms in the Netherlands. I joined Teradata in January 2017 because I felt I needed a change in my career and I knew that Teradata was where I wanted to be at that moment. I have never regretted the switch.
