Validators welcomes Chief Financial Officer Ingrid Klaassens

Validators is proud to announce the appointment of Ingrid Klaassens as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Due to Validators' rapid growth as an innovative research agency and international expansion of research software technology, the need for a CFO became increasingly apparent. Ingrid will take on this CFO role and join the Validators leadership team, where she will be responsible for connecting strategic growth ambitions, finance, and value creation within Validators.

With over 15 years of experience in the banking sector at ABN AMRO and as CEO of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Singapore, Ingrid brings a wealth of experience to Validators. She has already proven her expertise in growing businesses using a clear financial strategy in her previous roles for clients and within her own family business. This has given her a track record of using smart financial strategy in a pragmatic way to grow a business.

“The addition of Ingrid to our team in the role of CFO marks an exciting new chapter for Validators,” says Martin Leeflang, CEO of Validators. “Ingrid shares our vision for innovation, recognizes our growth potential, and brings in-depth financial knowledge and leadership experience that will be essential for executing our strategic plan. I am therefore convinced that Ingrid will play a key role as an ‘enabler’ for our ambitions to serve the (international) market with state-of-the-art research and scalable research technology for brands and marketing agencies. Meanwhile, we aim to stay ahead of the curve and innovate faster than the market with scientific methods and the latest AI applications that will significantly transform our research sector.”

Ingrid: "Validators' growth potential and ambition give me tremendous energy. At Validators, I will focus on providing financially pragmatic solutions to ensure strategic growth."
