Career
Wanda is one of SOLV’s founding partners. As one of the first generation IT & privacy lawyers in The Netherlands, she combines her love for technology, data and the human factor with her love for the law. Besides her law practice, Wanda is an entrepreneur and also holds positions as a professional supervisory board member (for instance as former member of the supervisory board of pension administrator PGGM N.V. and chairman of the supervisory board of public broadcasting organisation BNNVARA). Today, she is the chairman of the supervisory boards of Heliomare and Nederlands Fotomuseum and member of the supervisory board of GGN Mastering Credit. She integrates her sense for boardroom dynamics in advising corporates and other big organisations.
Wanda is specialised in IT & privacy law. She advises and litigates with regard to software compliance, licensing and out- and cloudsourcing. She thinks along with her clients from the very beginning so that privacy and security are not a “tick-box” topic, but are actually included in the processes in the right way. Her colleagues value her as one of the leading ladies in the field of IT law and her clients praise her for being both sharp and pragmatic.
Cases:
- Arbitration regarding a failed IT implementation project
- Cloudsourcing of a retail distribution center
- Advising international software vendors regarding software deals and software compliance
