Meet our Cyber S.W.A.T. team - a rock-solid group of experts from different fields, who previously worked together at the international game development agency Gamificationers. Complemented by Dick Schouten as co-founder and ceo, we are taking on the fight against cybercrime. Our goal is to transform this start-up within three years into an international success formula with more than 1 million players per year. Because cybercrime is growing rapidly and that requires a constructive and innovative approach.
With Cyber Crime, we have developed a game that is understood not only by IT professionals, but by everyone. Thus, we strive for a world where you as an individual have the knowledge and skills to protect yourself from cybercrime.
We do this not only as experts in cybersecurity, but also as storytellers, advertisers, creatives and do-gooders. We are always looking for creative ways to make an impact by creating immersive games that not only entertain, but also raise awareness and change behavior. Because playing a game is not only more fun, it's proven to be more effective. Find out more about who we are and how we are going to change the world with the cybercrime game.
As a cybersecurity expert, Dick has years of experience in cybersecurity. His knowledge, know-how and presentation are bundled into the game, without compromising on gameplay.
"In my role as Information Security Officer (ISO), I provide strategic advice to management on dealing with information security. My expertise includes policies, roadmaps, (counter) measures, risks and other related areas. "Got "caught" by the interesting and amazing world of cybersecurity and specifically the awareness part."
In addition to ceo, Dick also works at ProDrive to keep his feet in the clay and advise and organize at the highest level there. But his influence extends beyond the Cyber Crime Game and ProDrive - he also shines as Prince Carnival. His most important role? Dad to Siem and Saar. Dick always remains himself, in whatever situation.
As a game architect, Joris is instrumental in both storyline and gameplay.
"My goal is to create a game with social impact." A message only makes an impression when it comes to life. This succeeded well with the Cyber Crime Game thanks to a clever piece of storytelling on a Netflix-like level. "
Joris values experience and atmosphere not only in the games, but also in the office and within the team. Besides his work, he is an enthusiastic gaming and sports fanatic, president of the local tennis and padel club, and proud father of Pippa. With more than 10 years of experience in the gamification industry, Joris is a pioneer of the first hour. He enjoys sharing this knowledge and experience with others. He can be booked as a keynote speaker at events and trade shows.
Dirk plays a key role in positioning the game in both the national and international markets.
"In my role, I am responsible for maintaining customer contact both within the Netherlands and abroad. Our goal is to launch the game successfully in the Netherlands first. But given the growing interest from abroad, an international strategy is also crucial."
Dirk has now stopped drinking alcohol for 3 years and is addicted to runkeeper. But his athletic spirit doesn't stop there. He also hits a nice ball on the tennis court. This active lifestyle helps him stay in top shape mentally. It has to, because in addition to all these activities, he is father to Max, Ole and Guus. Could his fit body and mental state combined with 3 kids be the reason he is always first in the office?
