ohpenAmsterdam-based FinTech Ohpen today announced the appointment of Douwe-Klaas Bijl as its new CFO. He will be joining the Executive Board and be responsible for the FinTech’s expansion from a financial, risk, legal and compliance perspective.

“Ohpen is at an incredibly exciting stage of growth and Douwe’s experience will be crucial to our continued expansion and momentum. He has a strong perspective on the benefits of integration and a careful eye for both commercial and efficiency opportunities. He will be a key asset as we continue working on our mission of setting financial institutions free from legacy software,” said Matthijs Aler, CEO of Ohpen.

Previously, Douwe served as the CFO for Digital Insurance Group, focusing on fundraising and growth. He spent around 10 years at McKinsey and was part of the team that set-up and scaled LeasePlan’s European used-car marketplace, responsible for finance, analytics and business intelligence.

On his appointment, Douwe said, “I feel privileged to join Ohpen at the brink of its next wave of growth and innovation. It is uniquely placed to challenge legacy technology providers in the financial services sector and its client proposition as the only cloud-native core banking engine to offer a full suite of products is not just compelling, but proven. I am thrilled to be playing a role changing the face of finance by joining the team.”

Recently, Dutch FinTech Ohpen announced the acquisition of European loan and mortgage SaaS provider Davinci, thus allowing the former to address the $300 billion global bank IT spending market and further its international expansion.
