Operational Due Diligence / Operational Risk Management in Amsterdam

Hi All, got sometime to kill so I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have surrounding the above topic. 

Just a bit of context, I am an Operational Due Diligence ("ODD") Analyst heading into my third year, and our firm specializes in performing ODDs on asset managers across various asset classes on behalf of asset owners and OCIOs. 

The field is very niche, I saw another discussion here from 10 years ago that mentioned ODD professionals in New York not being more than 200. I think that is still largely true, globally, as well. 

Also, if you have any question about living and/or working in Amsterdam, I can also share some thoughts, or at least, tells you what I hear from people in the finance industry here. Of course, if I don't know the answer to your question, I will straight up say idk, I don't wanna lie.
