Stef combines his professional career with an academic career in the field of information security and privacy. In January 2018, Stef started his PhD at the Amsterdam Business Research Institute (ABRI) at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He is researching the issue of how digitalization puts technology into the core of modern businesses and how this impacts information security.

To this end, he is working on a revamped approach, grounded in management and organizational theories, that looks beyond the newest "best practices and practical security frameworks".

Stef earned his master's degree in IT Audit, Compliance and Advisory from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2016.
