Favorite mountain: Kirkjufell, Iceland
Biography Dominique
Born in Belgium, grew up in Germany, since then the world has been my village. I grew up around computers and technology, so a study in IT seemed to be the logical thing. Working in a bank, I was fascinated by the virtuality of it all, just data being created, manipulated, moved, erased, through numerous processes and systems… But there was more out there, because asset managers, pension funds, private banks all manipulated data in their own way! The next step was obvious: consulting. Through international projects I realized that change only works and makes an impact if it starts with a vision at the crossroads of data, business and IT. So I became an Enterprise Architect and that is what I have been doing ever since.

Architecture was also the reason for my other love: photography. The way we build impressive feats of engineering, the way nature finds a way to shape majestic landscapes, it has been a hobby which teaches me a lot about the commonalities and differences between virtual architecture and real-life constructions.

But of course, my life would not be complete without my family, with whom I try to spend what little spare time I have. I will always be grateful for their support and tolerance in all the endeavors, like Mount Consulting, as without them this adventure would not be possible.

Biography Harry
After graduating with a master’s in business economics from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) I spent six years at a major Dutch bank, working on various finance and risk change projects. During this time, I was seconded for a year in the New York office with the local finance team, which was a great experience both from a professional and personal perspectives. After that spell I started my own one-man consulting business for several years, focusing on finance, risk and ESG change projects. Since the summer of 2024, I’m working at Mount Consulting where I’m looking to bring my skills and expertise to help both our company as well as our clients to be successful.

Lianda Leeggangers

Senior Manager 

Favorite mountain: Mount Chomolungma, China-Nepal

Biography Lianda
My professional journey began at Rabobank, where I worked as a student alongside my studies. I earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s in quantitative finance. After that, I continued at Rabobank as a risk management trainee and later took on various roles in risk and change management. This experience gave me a strong foundation in financial services, with over 20 years of expertise. Over time, I realized that my passion lies in driving (change) projects at the intersection of enterprise risk, financial risk, data, and analytics.
One key lesson I’ve learned along the way is that direction is more important than speed—change is inevitable, but starting at the right pace is crucial. This mindset led me to the consulting sector, and in 2025, I joined Mount Consulting. I’m excited to be part of the team, contributing to both the company’s growth and meaningful, lasting change for our clients.
Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me on the tennis court, enjoying long walks, or experimenting in the kitchen.

Biography Jort
After studying Psychology and Economics, decided to pursue a job as a consultant in the financial services sector. During the first couple of years whereby I worked on various projects, I realized that I mainly enjoy finding suitable solutions for problems where business and IT meet. Since then I have been focusing more and more on data and architectural challenges.

At Mount I focus not only on my project and client deliverables. I can also create the time to focus on myself and my own development as well as the growth of the company. However, having ambitious goals means that it does not always come easy. But even then; you can’t just give up, cause that’s not what a dinosaur would do.

Joost Jan Noordegraaf

Partner

Favorite mountain: Cerro Torre, Argentinia
Biography Joost Jan
I started working in a small boutique consulting firm while finishing my Master’s degree in Financial Economics, and never considered a change of industry since. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work in small, medium-sized and large international consulting firms to continuously develop myself. Being at the front of large scale transformation projects, both in London and Amsterdam, for several years, I decided it was time to be at the front of our own consulting firm!

At Mount, I focus on CFO and CRO transformation projects. The past decade, regulators are a major force driving change, even more so in the future. We commit to deliver the best strategic solutions to CFO and CRO to deliver this change.

Lex Dekkema

Partner

Favorite mountain: Rainbow Mountain, Peru

Biography Lex

My professional career started at Rabobank as a management trainee. This gave me the opportunity to see many different aspects of a bank in a short timeframe. When I joined the bank’s international division and was involved in the setup of new offices abroad this experience was enriched by gaining understanding of how senior executives and regulators are looking at the performance of a bank. After working with several external advisors, I changed sides and first joined Ernst Young Consulting and subsequently KPMG Consulting. For almost twenty years I was involved in developing it’s management consulting practice in the Financial Services sector.

After KPMG I joined ACE Company first concentrating on developing it’s interim practice and later consulting. Four and half years later I transferred to Mount Consulting. Why Mount Consulting? Mount Consulting offers a very focused offering to Risk and Finance executives in Financial Services based on in depth expertise in those areas and delivered in a hands-on no nonsense way. This resonates with me and far more important: it resonates with our clients.

When I am not working I love to go outside with my camera “hunting” kingfishers, eagles and other wildlife.

I graduated from the Erasmus University, where I completed my MSc in Finance. The next step was clear: consultancy in the financial services sector. After taking some time off for my other passion, travelling and discovering a new culture, I started working in a medium-sized international consulting firm.

Soon I discovered that the flexibility and no-nonsense of a niche firm would suit me better and I was lucky enough to join Mount Consulting, where I can now focus on strategy and transformation within the CFO and CRO domains. While bringing our clients imagination to life, I can also focus on developing myself and the company, for me this is the ideal combination.

Thijs Peeters

Partner

Favorite mountain: Kruisberg, Holland
Biography Thijs
Having started my career in Accountancy, I switched to consulting after passing my Certified Accountant (‘RA’) exam. Triggered to add value by advisory rather than auditing numbers and processes. Growing experience at EY, PwC, Capco and Synechon, in New York, London, and Amsterdam, in consulting as well as leading positions, I decided it was time providing the financial services industry with an alternative for the current consulting firms. Together with my partner fellows also pictured at this site. And so Mount Consulting arose.

At Mount, like in the last 20 years within other consulting firms, I focus my advisory skills at the CFO and CRO domain of financial services organisations, and, more specifically, at aligning both functions to improve performance.
