Erik’s mission at BankTrack is to keep our website up to date and in good shape, and identify funding sources for our work.

Erik spent most of his working life as a salesman, and for the large part, this meant advising private and small business clients on insurance and financial products. At the same time, he worked as a volunteer for Amnesty International coordinating regional campaign work. Through an unlikely turn of events, he came across BankTrack whilst researching topics for a local newspaper and typing ‘Nijmegen’ into WikiLeaks. After writing an article about BankTrack, he decided that it would be the perfect organisation for him to work for - a crossroads between his background in finance and his human rights work. And so, he started in February 2016, eventually becoming BankTrack’s Website Content Manager.

Erik was educated at the HEAO Business School in Arnhem, where he studied Logistics, Marketing and Economics. Besides his work at BankTrack he volunteers as an editor for local newspaper De Nijmeegse Stadskrant, and at a local secondhand bookshop called Books4Life. He considers himself a nerdy text-driven book worm and still stubbornly believes he has it in him to write a work of fiction.
