Biography:
A keen curiosity and love for ships and airplanes initially paved the way for Gert-Jan’s career in shipping. Gert-Jan has more than 10 years of shipping experience in port operations, port collaboration, continuous improvements and leading DevOps teams. This, combined with his prior work in the airline industry, makes Gert-Jan a true asset in supporting companies to translate operational challenges and opportunities into digital solutions that meet stakeholder demands (customers, employees, suppliers, owners, etc.)
“It’s all about collaboration and data! The way I see it, if you can share and receive data from other relevant stakeholders and a correct ‘translation’ is made in both your and the receiving organisations, the likelihood is high that the performance of the ecosystem improves.”
