This page is designed to give you a brief overview of my teaching / executive development and consulting / thought leadership activities I have been involved with. I have been on the faculty of the Nyenrode Business Universiteit, in the Finance Area, since 2002.

My work at Nyenrode consists of both research and teaching, mostly at the executive level. I was voted Professor of the Year in the Executive MBA in 2009. My teaching and executive development interests revolve around corporate and structured finance. I have worked directly with major corporations, such as Eureko / Achmea and Eneco.

My main research interests are in understanding structured products, credit ratings, and on how structural features of securitized products are changing. I also work on applied research / consultancy projects for ABN-AMRO, Ballast Nedam, Essent, NIBC, Kroymans Corporation, SHV and Stork, among others. These projects included asset-backed securitization issues, value-based management and cost of capital issues, to name but a few.

I received a Master of Science degree in Financial Management from Nyenrode Business Universiteit (1999), where I also obtained my PhD degree (2007) with a thesis on Asset Securitization. Additional training was followed through the Tilburg PhD Program in Finance.
