Director of Operations Eddie Moojen

Eddie Moojen, (33), is co-founder of Opentracker and creator of the technology on which its services are based. Eddie holds a Masters degree in Technology and Management, with an emphasis on Technology and Law, from the Technical University in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

In 1997, Eddie started his IT career at consultancy firm KPMG, amid heightened corporate concerns over data protection.

As a consultant to the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, he was assigned to look into the lack of attention given by large companies to securing data, in light of the Dutch economy's increasing dependence on such information.

Based on KPMG's recommendations, the Dutch government introduced new curriculum throughout the Dutch education system, including a new post-graduate course on data security.

In 1998, Moojen joined Dutch trading software company Virgil where he upgraded Rabobank's global treasury information systems with intranet technologies.

In 2000, Eddie set up the firm Elements, a company offering financial system consultancy and testing ground for Opentracker's technology.

From 1996-2002, Wart co-founded Trifid Media Design, a graphic design company where he gained extensive commercial experience as system administrator, technical director, and website builder and designer. Its clients included internationally renowned companies HP, Epson, and DSM.
