Country Manager
CurrentAs Country Manager I am overall responsible for Mastercard’s team and business in the Netherlands with the ambition to make payments as safe, simple, smart and accessible as possible. Every year the Dutch population pays over 7 billion times in physical stores and online. Most of these transactions are done with a card (in physical stores almost 80%) and almost half of them done with a mobile wallet like Apple or Google Pay. With our brands Maestro and Mastercard, we facilitate these transactions. We do this together with banks, acquirers, PSP’s and other payment institutions. We not only partner with them around our payment solutions, but also offer them all kinds of services to fuel innovation, increase loyalty, optimize operations, reduce fraud and develop payment strategies. We also partner with governments, retailers and other stakeholders to continuously improve the efficiency of the Dutch payment ecosystem
