Background

About Michael Boer

With 25+ years of experience in IT, FinTech, and financial services, I am a highly committed, results-driven Development and Delivery Leader. I excel at cultivating trust and relationships, and passionate about working on cross-border and cross-departmental initiatives where business, software Development, and IT meet. My focus is on delivering innovative and maintainable solutions to complex technical and business challenges, with a keen eye for operational excellence, customer satisfaction, and outstanding quality of service. As an empathetic and inspiring leader, with a can-do mentality and down-to-earth approach, I have a proven track record of building, motivating and empowering teams across the globe to deliver high-quality solutions that exceed the needs of the business. With excellent skills in management, Agile application design, development and testing, DevOps, release management, program and project management, change and risk management, engineering, and outsourcing, I have built and maintained complex large-scale business-critical solutions. These solutions have been implemented at small to large-sized financial institutions worldwide and have been deployed as in-house installations or hosted SaaS and Cloud environments. Throughout my career, I have worked with large (virtual) teams, partners, suppliers, and customers across multiple time zones both onshore and offshore. I have been a trusted sparring partner of business domain representatives, building out the vision, portfolio strategy, and roadmap, including long-range and annual operating plans. With experience in start-ups, scale-ups, medium-sized, and large global enterprise commercial and government environments, I'm well-versed in successfully dealing with the unique challenges presented by each scale. My focus on solution-oriented, results-driven work, combined with my exceptional people management skills, enables me to lead teams to success and deliver outstanding results every time.
