Rik
Founder & Director
Rik leads large, complex programmes in payments, banking, and technology — from guiding New Zealand's ISO 20022 industry migration to delivering global mobile banking solutions at scale. He communicates easily with executives, regulators, and industry leaders, building alignment where it's needed most.
Rik brings both strategic perspective and deep technical capability, shaped by decades of hands-on delivery across banking, payments, and enterprise systems. This combination means he can solve problems at the big-picture level while also understanding the fine detail that makes solutions work. Rik is also the author of MIXT — a new language for data and document transformation.
What defines Rik is a commitment to clarity and outcomes. He knows projects succeed when challenges are anticipated early, not just repaired later. While adept at stepping in to fix struggling initiatives, he prefers to engage from the outset — shaping projects for success and helping teams avoid the pitfalls that experience has taught him to recognise.
