Background
Trained as a food technologist (1981) at the College for Food Technology (Rijkszuivelschool) in Bolsward, Friesland, Jaap began his career in 1981 with the Dutch dairy producer FrieslandCampina and at Lankhorst Ropes. Throughout the 1980s he was able to hone his skills in various sales and marketing functions. In 1990 he made a crucial switch to the world of banking. Working for BankGiroCentrale in Amsterdam, he evolved to become a competent all-rounder in payment systems, a role which he was subsequently to extend to the level of director and boardroom advisor. Since 1998 Jaap has been the founder/owner of Ringnalda Consultancy.
