Senior Manager GMS NDR & Network at Fox-IT / NCC Group — working at the intersection of OT, cybersecurity, and service leadership.
Most organisations working with operational technology understand their systems. What they often lack is a clear direction for securing them — and the bridge between that ambition and day-to-day execution. That's where I work best.
My background is in industrial automation: PLC, HMI, SCADA environments where operational continuity isn't optional. That foundation shapes how I approach cybersecurity today — not as a compliance layer, but as part of how organisations are designed to be resilient.
What energises me is the space between strategy and delivery. Setting a clear direction, translating it into concrete steps, and working with people to make it real. I combine technical credibility in OT and security with the leadership work of building structure, ownership, and momentum.
Technical credibility in OT and security, combined with the leadership work of building structure, ownership, and momentum across global teams.
Over a decade of hands-on experience with PLC, HMI and SCADA environments. I understand operational continuity from the inside — which shapes how I approach security without disrupting what matters.
Leading global delivery of NDR, Managed Firewall and Canary Tokens within NCC Group's GMS organisation. Scaling repeatable operating models across regions with a focus on OT and IT/OT convergence.
Building and coaching multidisciplinary teams across engineering, operations and service delivery. Creating ownership, accountability and momentum in environments where structure and clarity are critical.
Translating service and business strategy into OKRs, planning cycles and delivery frameworks. Closing the gap between leadership ambition and on-the-ground reality — across implementation, operations and technology.
Strengthening service ownership, handovers and ways of working across global teams. Improving delivery visibility, forecasting and execution control through practical, people-centred process design.
Running Bollenstreek IT since 2013 keeps me close to what actually matters for clients and delivery — the full lifecycle from client relationship and solution design through to support and financial management.
From PLC engineering to global service leadership — a career built at the intersection of OT, security, and people.

Scaling delivery towards a repeatable global operating model while strengthening the NDR for OT proposition. Ad interim Associate Director-level scope across GMS Implementations & Operations (Apr–May 2026) and GMS Technology Engineering (May 2026–present).
Founded and run a part-time IT services business supporting small and mid-sized companies as a trusted external IT partner. End-to-end ownership of client relationships, solution design, implementation, support and financial management. Keeps me grounded in what actually matters for service delivery and client value.
Led a cross-functional engineering team (software, hardware, R&D) within the OT domain. Owned company-wide planning and resource allocation; restructured delivery into a 3-team model with dedicated leadership, improving accountability, focus and scalability. Supported transition towards leaner, delivery-focused ways of working.
Led complex software delivery in the OT domain, combining hands-on engineering with planning, coordination and team leadership. Oversaw delivery for part of the software engineering team; mentored junior engineers; introduced planning and reporting processes to improve delivery visibility and execution control.
Designed, programmed and commissioned PLC, HMI and SCADA solutions for industrial automation environments across the full project lifecycle. Delivered in high-pressure, international settings with strict quality and operational requirements. Built the technical foundation in OT that shapes my security approach today.
Competencies built over more than a decade spanning industrial automation, OT security, and global service leadership.
Whether you want to talk security, leadership, or just grab a coffee — I'm always open to a good conversation.
