Summary
Erik Janssens is a seasoned product manager and technologist with 14 years focused on Java-based payment platforms and tooling, currently leading the OPF Visual Toolkit at FIS. He blends deep hands-on JEE, Eclipse RCP and integration experience with product strategy, having defined and delivered developer- and business-facing SDKs that keep requirements and runtime configuration in sync. His background spans architecture, presales and training—he has taught Java courses and run corporate academies—so he uniquely translates complex technical capabilities into usable products and customer-facing value. Erik has repeatedly driven adoption of OPF across global teams, designing both developer SDKs and operator portals (Vaadin) for payment lifecycles. Comfortable presenting to technical and business audiences, he pairs long-term platform vision with practical delivery and enablement. An interesting thread through his career is a persistent focus on tooling that preserves traceability between requirements and runtime configuration, reducing friction in large-scale payment projects.
