Summary
Ruud De Jong is a pragmatic consultant specializing in license and entitlement management, supply chain optimization and ERP-driven quote-to-cash transformations, with a track record across Philips, Canon, Versuni and multiple interim roles. He blends 11 years of focused consulting experience with nearly four decades of hands-on software, systems engineering and architecture knowledge, coding in C, C++ and Python and favoring TDD, KISS and YAGNI principles. Known for leading complex migrations and harmonizations—such as consolidating multiple ERPs into a single Infor LN cloud instance and implementing licensing systems—he operates comfortably at the intersection of business process, product ownership and technical delivery. As an independent owner and partner at Ruud de Jong Interim and IPL Advies, he repeatedly steps into transition and product-owner roles to frame vendor selection and backlog prioritization for enterprise software. Based in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region, he brings a rare combination of supply chain procurement know‑how and deep technical credibility that helps organizations turn licensing and entitlement complexity into auditable, scalable processes. An understated strength is his knack for translating legacy operational constraints into pragmatic cloud ERP and software distribution architectures.
