Background

About Erwin Boon

I believe strong organizations are built on two foundations: resilient risk management practices and empowered people. As Expert Lead IT Risk & Security in the financial sector, I focus on both — guiding teams to anticipate and mitigate risk while fostering a culture of trust, accountability, and continuous growth. Over the past years, I have helped organizations mature their IT risk and security functions, ensuring not only compliance with regulatory frameworks but also sustainable business resilience. My leadership style is rooted in mentoring and developing talent, while aligning risk management practices with broader business strategy. Key areas of expertise include: Designing and implementing IT Risk & Security frameworks aligned with industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g, DNB, ECB, ISO, NIST). Leading teams to strengthen cyber resilience and improve governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practices. Acting as a bridge between business and technology, translating complex risk concepts into actionable solutions. Coaching leaders and teams to embrace risk awareness as part of their day-to-day decision-making. Driving process maturity, from service management to project portfolio governance, to deliver measurable business value. I thrive in environments where change, complexity, and collaboration intersect — enabling organizations to safeguard what matters most while creating space for people to grow.
