Information is a valuable resource for organisations, both internally and externally. From hands-on implementation, change management throughout the organisation, to the IT alignment with your organisation’s strategy, Ferdinand ties data governance into your operational excellence and customer intimacy goals. He combines a fresh and unbiased perspective, with a pragmatic yet empathetic approach. Able to comfortably relate the message from the floor to the boardroom. Respecting the sensitive nature. Aware of the risks to your reputation. Accountability for all things ‘data’, is his contribution to your peace of mind.

‘Clear alignment with your long term ambitions, enables focus on value creation, reduces inefficient allocation of scarce resources, and minimises dependencies on proprietary solutions.’

With a clear view and pragmatic contributions to businesses, and authorities up to EU data strategy deployments, Ferdinand is a thought leader for a fair data and digital economy. Leveraging legal principles to enable individuals, businesses and authorities to easily manage data, catering to the outcomes they want, while neither compromising on privacy nor convenience. Data processing is like a production line of individual activities contributing to a desired outcome. For each activity one can plan the input and throughput to deliver the output. Seeing that many systems organise similar activities, it’s only logical to align them. This view led to the development and deployment of a data sharing protocol easy to integrate with whatever (personal) data management system in place, fairsfair.io. Supported by an open source semantic model, fostering interoperability and compliance, fairsfair.org.
