Testimonials
"Als hoofd Toezicht Private sector bij de AP heb ik vele jaren met veel plezier met Rob samengewerkt. Hij is analytisch sterk, bedachtzaam en zeer diplomatiek. Hij beschikt over een grote kennis op het snijvlak van privacy en technologie en weet deze werelden als geen ander met elkaar te verbinden en erover te vertellen. Zijn proefschrift naar Real Time Bidding is daar het exemplarische voorbeeld van. Tot slot, maar ook zeer belangrijk, Rob is gewoon een ontzettende aardige en plezierige collega die ik iedereen in zijn team wens."

"I had the chance to work with Rob while I was at CNIL and we collaborated on several projects related to online tracking. Rob has a comprehensive view of the complex ecosystem that is the online advertising industry and also manages to know all the technical and legal details. Rob identifies the key challenges and successfully explains this highly complex topic to non-experts by providing useful examples. He is also able to design tools and write concise code to implement them."
