As consultant in the Data Strategy & Data Science unit of Capgemini Invent, Jochem helps organisations become digital leaders by translating business questions to digital and data driven solutions. With his background in both Econometrics and Political Science, he has a knack for challenging projects in the public sector that are also beneficial to society.
In a world that’s increasingly governed by data and algorithm, data analysts play a pivotal role. Part of Jochem’s expertise lies in the ethical consequences of algorithms on society. How can we make sure that the digital transformation is beneficial to as many people as possible? What are the effects of AI on society? Jochem gives presentations and writes blog to share his knowledge on this topic.

• Assignment for the European Commission that assesses the level of digital service delivery of European governments, resulting in the influential eGovernment Benchmark report.
• Dashboard building and development for the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), that provides the organisations with improved insights for their data
• Blog on the essentials of data ethics.

• “The public sector is increasingly realizing the potential of the data it gathers to improve citizens’ lives. The challenge ahead is to keep using data in an ethical and responsible manner, while opening up vital data sources to citizens and entrepreneurs and facilitating interoperable data exchange between institutions. This will enable governments to realize the economic, societal, political and environmental benefits that data has to offer.”

The next step will be to deliver services more proactively and seamlessly – but achieving this means facilitating interoperable data exchange between institutions, while ensuring that data is used responsibly and ethically.”
