Shikko Nijland

Function: Senior Vice President

I’m very proud of the fact that we’re regarded as innovation experts in Digital Identity, Data Sharing and Payments.

This comes with high expectations, not just from our clients, but also from peers in the field and colleagues within INNOPAY. It is not easy to become an innovation expert at INNOPAY.

INNOPAY consultants need to master the complete art and science of innovation: from ideation to implementation. Simultaneously, innovation experts are expected to be thought leaders, trusted advisors and change agents.

I feel privileged working with so many creative, bright and energetic people on many challenging and impactful projects.
