Senior🎓
Top SchoolHerman Stehouwer is a Managing Tech Consultant and computational linguist with 16 years of experience translating language technologies and AI into measurable business impact across regulated and public-sector environments. He leads end-to-end GenAI and NLP initiatives—from transforming conversational architectures and building Centers of Excellence to establishing governance, PoV teams, and repeatable ML labs—while keeping an eye on scale, risk mitigation, and integration with enterprise architecture. His background blends a PhD in Computational Linguistics with hands-on engineering (federated search, SOLR/Lucene, Java) and program-level coordination for international data-exchange efforts like the RDA, giving him rare strength in both technical delivery and multi-stakeholder consensus building. Notably, he has delivered production solutions tied to identity-integrated services (e.g., Digid) and automated high-impact customer-contact processes that yield measurable financial outcomes. Pragmatic and metrics-driven, he thrives where complex regulatory constraints meet language AI innovation.
