Enterprise Networking

Nicole is based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and is part of the WW Enterprise Architecture team where she is leading IPv6 as a Technical Solutions Architect. She graduated with a degree in Computer Science from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and specializes in the Internet of Things (IoT), IPv6 and security.

In 2016 Nicole joined the WW ENS Team where she currently still is active on Networking Technology.
