Profile:
After a career as entrepreneur in the not-for-profit
sector Max Snijder became one of the pioneers of biometrics
in the Netherlands. After several years of extensive
experience with numerous biometric projects, he founded
the Biometric Expertise Group in 2004 with the purpose
of bringing together the fragmented knowledge and experience
in the field of biometrics. His network of experts,
including partnerships with renowned institutions like
the Tilburg University, Twente University and TNO, cover
all relevant areas of biometric implementations, from
strategic to operational, from legal to technical.
The Automated Border Passage project at Amsterdam Airport
Schiphol and the pilot project for the Dutch Ministry
of Internal Affairs (the so-called Pilot Rotterdam),
were two of the first major projects he realized as
a biometric supplier and integrator. Many projects soon
followed.
He started the biometric business at Joh.Enschedé,
a respectable Dutch based security printing company
producing banknotes, passports and stamps. In January
2002, this business became a new company called Dartagnan
Biometric Solutions. As a member of the management team,
he was responsible for the product development department.
His department charted the future role of Dartagnan
products and services and was responsible for the development
and product lifecycle of all Dartagnan offerings. Apart
from that, Max Snijder set up and managed the Passports
& ID Documents business unit in response to the
rapid market developments in that field.
Today, Max Snijder is involved in the key areas of the
biometrics business. Benefiting from a wide network,
he also sits in several committees like the CEN/ISSS
WS e-Authentication working group, the Biometric Authentication
Supporting Invisible Security (BASIS IOP GenCom) IOP
committee (a Twente University/Eindhoven University
project, funded by the Dutch Government), the Vision
& Strategy and the R&D working group of the
Dutch Biometric Forum. He is member of the CEN/ISSS
Biometric Focus Group and of the EBF Special interest
group Standards and Deployments.
