Alexander
van Haastrecht

Alexander has a Ph.D. in Financial Mathematics from the University of Amsterdam. After finishing his Ph.D. he started a part-time position at the VU Amsterdam as assistant-professor and started Risk-at-Work and he's still active in both roles. Affected by a small streak of OCD, when Alexander isn't working or spending time with his family, you'll probably find him doing strength training, running or playing tennis.
