About the authors
David Ariens
“I’m passionate about Industrial Digital Transformation. On The IT/OT Insider we share that passion and our insights with process & manufacturing plants and critical infrastructure all over the world!”
I’m holding a masters degree in Mathematical Engineering from the K.U. Leuven. To this date, I still teach several courses on cyber security, data and AI topics at two high schools and a university.
I was the industrial digitalization director at BASF Antwerp until 2022. In that role, I focussed on building digital product teams. As a technical guy, I got passionate about Industrial Cyber Security and Data.
Today I’m leading Analytics For Industry and I’m an advisor to Timeseer.AI. I’m focusing on bringing real digital transformation to Manufacturing, Process and Infrastructure companies. I co-founded The IT/OT Insider together with Willem in 2023.
