Jeroen Schalken

Jeroen is a seasoned "data cowboy" with over 25 years of experience wrangling data. Specializing in artificial intelligence and speech recognition software development, he's been instrumental in building and developing data warehouses and analytics platforms.

As a cloud data architect and manager of data and analytics, he's been building on VLK's data and analytics structure for the past 7 years.

One of his biggest challenges currently is data governance, where he's leading a strategy to combine all available information into a central UI to make all data, data usage, lineage, security, and compliance come together for the entire data estate.

Over the past 3 years, he's been working tirelessly on creating an analytics platform in the Azure cloud using Databricks. This platform has revolutionized how analytics and reporting teams work at VLK, and it's actively being used to drive data-based insights across the company. Jeroen's latest challenge involves moving from an on-premises data warehouse to a cloud data lakehouse as part of the data and analytics platform.

His passion for data and expertise in building and developing data warehouses and analytics platforms make him a sought-after speaker at events. If you're looking to learn more about the latest trends in data and analytics, Jeroen is your guy.
