Rik has proven to honour open, honest communication and returns the favour. Every time. This makes working with him a treat. The Banking Scene has shown strong growth under his visionary leadership. I have no doubt his next steps with The Banking Scene will be equally impressive.

I found the Innovation in Payments group developed and maintained by Rik very effective at promoting discussions between interested parties on the viability of new payment systems. These are inherently complex things, both technologically and economically. There is much scope for disagreement about which systems will probe effective innovations and which won't. This makes it important for participants to have a forum for knowledgeable discussion of new systems to promote the understanding of payments innovations. Rik's group goes a long way to providing such a forum. Rik himself is an engaging and honest participant in discussions. As manager, he sets the tone that others use as they talk about developments. I remain grateful to Rik for his energy in providing the group.

Rik and I worked together on a major strategy development engagement for a Belgian financial institution which is now progressing towards market launch. While his position was officially that of a junior, he quickly demonstrated exceptional aptitude for the rigorous research, analysis and critical thinking, as well as financial modeling skills needed to develop and validate a solid strategy. He consistently exceeded all my expectations, worked extremely hard, and very diligently to deliver his results on time and above quality all the time. Over the course of the project he matured greatly and his knowledge, indeed his strategic perspective, helped him become a trusted and high-quality sparring partner for our team and client. I would be pleased to continue working with Rik on assignments in the future and would gladly recommend him to others as well. I think he is capable of going very far if given the right environment and stretch goals.
