Biography
At the end of my study Econometrics I joined DirectPay. After a short introduction into SQL database querying and programming I started researching possible usages for the database. DirectPay buys and collects consumer invoices in the broadest sense and has a database with millions of payments. Using SAS software I developed a scoring model for Dutch consumers based on our own data and geographical information. What started as an interesting research topic has become the core of the organization, every invoice is scored and collected based on the internally developed data and models. After researching various parts of the collection chain I was promoted to Chief Analytics Officer in 2015. At this moment we are focusing on analytics based decision making for all debt collection processes and starting to use location data to optimize logistical processes.Abstract
