Background

A guide, not a guru.

No consultancy report. One working register, a team that keeps it current, and an approach that fits the shop floor of a bank as well as the van of an installer.

01 — Financial Services, from the inside

Twenty years on the programmes that cannot fail.

Twenty years working on IT transformations at Dutch banks, insurers and mortgage lenders. Programme management on initiatives that could not fail: core systems, regulatory releases, transition packages.

That gives one hard lesson: a beautiful dashboard helps nothing if the shop floor does not use it. Compliance is execution, not presentation.

02 — The turn toward AI governance

The same pattern at every FS client.

Between 2022 and 2025 I saw the same pattern at every FS client. Marketing using ChatGPT. Sales with a copilot. Risk that never got a list anywhere. The regulator starting to ask questions.

The EU AI Act made it urgent: you cannot classify a model you do not know about.

03 — FlowBaas

Started in 2025 because it had to be done differently.

No report, no year-long implementation. One living register, a team that keeps it current, and an approach that fits the shop floor of a bank as well as the van of an installer.

Enterprise knowledge from an AI Portfolio Lead at a top-3 bank (5,000+ engineers), translated into a practical, affordable approach for SMEs.

How we work

Three principles that steer everything.

Not promising what sounds good, but delivering what the shop floor survives.

01 — Pace

Inventory in weeks, not months.

We deliver a first model register within two weeks of engagement. You cannot classify a model you do not know about, so first map it, then classify it.

02 — Fit

No second system.

What we build connects to your existing tools. No extra login, no stray spreadsheet. One place, an owner per line, traceable at audit.

03 — Ownership

We set it up and hand it over.

Ownership stays with you. No vendor lock-in as a back door to recurring revenue. We stay available, but you do not grind to a halt when we leave.

Where we stand

Six sectors, no pretence of full-stack.

We say where we are strong and where we are learning. Active in, among others:

Honesty block

What I'm not.

I position myself as a builder, not an oracle. Three things to be clear on upfront.

  • Not an AI researcher.I do not build models. I organise them: register, ownership, lead time.
  • Not a lawyer.I translate the law into work, together with people who write in legally watertight terms.
  • Not a visionary.I deliver something running next month. No 36-month roadmap without a first delivery point.
