MSc Information Sciences — graduated 2026

Aligning business
and IT.

I'm Jesse van den Hoven. I translate what an organisation actually needs into systems, architecture and processes that hold up in practice — from hospital ERP to AI adoption inside a professional-services firm.

Profile

Technology is only useful when the business understands it.

My route through IT went from MBO to HBO to university — IT Administrator, then a bachelor in Business IT & Management, and now a master's in Information Sciences on the Aligning Business and IT track at Radboud University. That path is the point: I've been on the service desk, in application management, and in the strategy conversation, so I know what breaks between them.

I graduated in 2026 with a thesis carried out at Gemeente Nijmegen. Alongside my studies I taught Requirements Engineering & Design at Radboud, and I currently help Stolwijk Kennisnetwerk move their internal AI work forward.

The interesting problems are never purely technical. They're where a process, a system and a group of people meet — and nobody owns the whole picture.
