Ward is an ambitious Credit Professional at Triple A Solutions. During his Business Administration studies, credit analysis immediately caught his attention, which led him to the field of Credit Management. He has a clear goal of becoming a Credit Analyst at Triple A Solutions, and the academy program is the ideal springboard for him.
What attracted you to Credit Management?
Credit analysis has always really appealed to me; it’s a branch of Credit Management where my economic background truly comes in handy. My goal is to grow into that role within Triple A Solutions. I have since completed all the Credit Management courses and finished the ‘Start to Analyse’ training, which was incredibly interesting and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.
What did you want to be when you were younger?
For a long time, I was searching for exactly what I wanted to do. That’s why I eventually studied Business Administration, a field with a very broad foundation that offered many different career paths. After my studies, I also spent a year in Tenerife working at a windsurfing center—definitely a dream job. For a while, at least.

Do you feel your training aligns with what you studied?
I feel that I’ve mainly learned a lot ‘on the job’ during my first project, as what I do here is quite specific. However, I do feel that the broad financial foundation I gained during my studies certainly helps.
What appeals to you about Controlling and Analysis?
I’ve always been interested in the purely financial aspect of Credit Management, partly due to my education. I currently work in a very technical way, processing a lot of data. Sometimes it might seem as if there’s no human element behind that data. In controlling or analysis, you work very specifically file by file, and I think the impact of my work will be even more tangible and measurable than it is today.
What is the most important thing you’ve learned over the past year?
Daring to ask questions! When I first started, I had many concrete practical questions that I didn’t always dare to ask right away, which caused them to linger. Now I know that everyone has to learn in the beginning and that it’s perfectly normal to have a lot of questions; you can and should just ask them.
