Sven Terpstra

Samen met Susan heb ik leiding mogen geven aan het team dat OVpay in Nederland mogelijk heeft gemaakt. Het was een genoegen om met Susan te mogen samenwerken. Ondanks de grote druk behoudt ze het overzicht en neemt ze de rust om na te denken over de weg vooruit. Ze schakelt moeiteloos van strategisch naar operationeel en weer terug, Ze werkt met een groot respect en oprechte aandacht voor de mens. Als de mogelijkheid in de toekomst zich voordoet, zou ik heel graag weer met haar willen samenwerken.

Susan heb ik ervaren als verbindend leidinggevende met een uitstekend gevoel voor Business & IT. Met Susan is het prettig samenwerken. Door haar coachende stijl brengt zij haar eigen perspectief in op vraagstukken die ter tafel komen, waarmee ze het palet aan handelingsopties verrijkt. Susan durft zich open op te stellen, waardoor ze snel het vertrouwen krijgt van de mensen om haar heen. In haar handelen staat integriteit voorop, behoudt ze oog voor de menselijke maat en weet ze telkens weer evenwicht te vinden tussen belangen. Daarnaast beschikt zij over de gave om de 'essentie van dat wat wordt beoogd' op inspirerende wijze grafisch weer te geven.

      Translink is the FinTech company responsible for public transport payments in the Netherlands. Think of the OV-chipkaart but also the transition to paying with your debit card and OVpay. The Processing Services unit forms the core of the company. We ensure accurate price calculation and process transactions safely, quickly and reliably across the entire mobility domain. We distribute passenger revenue to the public transport companies and other mobility providers so that they receive the share of revenue they are entitled to. At the same time, we transform the business to the new technology and associated governance, while being demonstrably in control. In addition to leading the unit I am also the sponsor for the master architects. Show less
