This is my personal business website: CV Works. Providing access to my professional (research) publications, speakers information, and short background on my work experience.

​

I'm Bianca Prins, Global Head of Accessibility at ING Bank, based in The Netherlands. I'm an active member of the international accessibility and disability community and firm believer of progress over perfection. Given the simple fact that perfection has an expiration date, progress fits innovating, developing sectors/environments where accessibility resides.

​

You might also know me as member of the Advisory Board of the Equitable AI Alliance by Zero Project and the Seneca Trust. Which I joined, based on my work on the impact of the AI Act on accessibility and new policy requirements supporting accessibility, ethical data use, and access to information in support of grieviance processes.

My contributions to conferences, and business events aim to move my audience to action. Because I believe that progress is more important than perfection, because of perfections expiration date.

 

With increasing regulatory pressure, it is important to act in the spirit of the UN CPRD, and include persons with disability respecting the rights of the disability community and recognize their importance to society, and provide access to the economy, employment and welcoming as customer.
