One of my long-term freelance assignments has been with Backbase: the Amsterdam-based market leader in omni-channel banking software. On day 1, I took over a stuck project for Hiscox (a UK insurance company) and introduced a new customized approach for a succeful implementation. I have led teams helping (among others) PZU (one of the largest East-European insurance companies), Deutsche Bank, Banque de Luxembourg, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and Discovery Bank (a digital mobile first bank in South-Africa). I was responsible for setting up and executing the support for Citibanamex (one of the largest Mexican banks) during the implementation of Backbase products for consumer banking, retail banking and wealth management.

Our support model became the blueprint for Backbase’s customer success teams.
