Sjoerd Blum

Joining Royal Schiphol Group in 2015, Sjoerd created the teams responsible for innovation (technology, data and agile way of working) as well as those integral to developing technology (IT strategy & architecture, cyber security and process management). A mere two years later in 2017 he became CIO. Prior to his time at Schiphol, Sjoerd worked for over 10 years in the financial sector. During this time, he was involved in many (digital) transformations where technology was the foundation for improved business performance. With a passion for both technology and people, Sjoerd believes in making the most of your human and technological capital through leadership and it is what drives him every day. Sjoerd lives in Amsterdam with his wife and 2 children (9 year old Mare and 7 year old Idse).
