Summary
Gertjan Van Wingerde is a seasoned domain architect with 26 years designing end-to-end telecom and OSS/BSS solutions, currently shaping Order & Delivery for KPN’s business market at Prodapt. He combines deep protocol and network knowledge with hands-on system and server architecture experience, repeatedly delivering migration strategies and operational transformation for major carriers like KPN, Vodafone UK and Deutsche Glasfaser. His career spans product and corporate architect roles, standardization leadership in OMA, and launching cloud deployment strategies—skills that help bridge multi-vendor ecosystems and complex multi-company programs. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he excels at translating business constraints into scalable migration processes, tools and architectures that reduce time-to-market and cost. Not obvious from the title: he has a long track record of leading standardization efforts and contributing to patents, giving him rare domain authority in both product strategy and industry-wide interoperability. Based in Amsterdam, he combines technical mentoring with strategic decision support across large transformation initiatives.
