MANAGEMENT TEAM — COMPLIANCE

After his time at ING Bank, Stijn has been working as compliance officer for financial institutes since 2005. His expertise focuses on product development and consultancy in client research, risk analysis, and sanction screening. Based on the conviction that professional knowledge and experience must go hand in hand with automation, he and Leon concluded that FirmQ should be the first to offer an online compliance back office.

Leon Pennings

MANAGEMENT TEAM — LEAD DEVELOPER

Leon and Stijn are at the cradle of FirmQ. With more than 20 years of experience as a software engineer, he is responsible for the construction of the product. His standard response to a new request is always “what exactly do you need it for?” — after which he creates an application that already takes future developments into account. The last 14 years Leon has specialized further in the GRC domain, making his knowledge in data-driven risk analysis extremely valuable to FirmQ.
