During this time period, he facilitated the implementation of Agile and transition to DevOps for these teams while ‘running the bank’ . As of 2015, Léon became responsible for all IT risks within ING Domestic Bank directly reporting to the CIO. The purpose of his Risk&Control team is facilitate to create impact on IT Risk. The underlying objective is to create a safer and more secure bank, focussing on creating Risk Awareness, on User Access, and by helping engineers implement minimum standards and solve risk and security issues. He has been one of the architects of the IT risk measurement model that describes how the ING DevOps organisation needs to handle IT Risks. Next to this, he has been one of the driving forces behind an effective implementation of an Operational Control Dashboard providing engineers insight in the status of their IT risks on a daily (almost real time) basis. Since 2017, Léon is organizing Risk Awareness Days, which has grown to a cross-domain, cross-border event in which several hundreds of DevOps teams (3000+ engineers) participate. He applies his professional skills as a coach and leader also in his personal life where he coaches his son’s football (soccer) team and regularly referees for his daughter’s field hockey team and is always looking for ways to make things better and more fun!
