Jan began her career as an auditor in 1994 with KPMG, where she progressed to be a manager supporting a variety of large clients, as well as some not-for-profit organisations.

From 2000 to 2011, Jan held roles in accounting and financial reporting at a variety of companies in London and Amsterdam before joining CERN in 2012. All her roles have included some responsibility for controls and contact with the auditors.
