Joost brings passion and deep enterprise selling experience to the table, which will accelerate our ambitions to drive the Engagement Banking movement forward and grow Backbase around the world.”

In his last role at SAP, van Mook was CCO “for SAP Netherlands leading SAP’s Enterprise Business.”

During his tenure at SAP, he played “a leading role in transforming the Dutch organization from a license and support business to a cloud company, including overseeing go-to-market planning, sales strategies, and partner engagements.”

In 2020 Joost was “nominated for the annual Dutch Young Captain Awards for young corporate leadership talent.”

Within SAP Netherlands he served as executive sponsor for the Corporate Social Responsibility program, the SAP Academy traineeship programs, and the Young Professional network.

As Backbase CCO, van Mook will lead the continued growth that has seen Backbase eclipse €200 million in revenue and be named to the 2022 CB Insights’ Fintech 250 list.

van Mook said:

As covered, Backbase is “on a mission to re-architect banking around the customer.”
