I work from the Netherlands to engage and support the IMS Global members in Europe, for example by making sure the yearly IMS Europe conference is an event that helps to enhance EdTech standards globally. I have worked as a product and project manager in the field of Education Technology for over 30 years. I worked for commercial businesses (Novell, Pearson VUE), for the Dutch government (College voor Toetsen en Examens) and for SURF (the IT-organization for Higher Education in the Netherlands). I have been involved with IMS Global for about 10 years as a client and have contributed as chair of the IMS Europe board.
