Joao Rodrigues Frade Email & Phone Number | I’m currently leading the Building Blocks and Innovative Services Sector with the Directorate-General for Digital Services (DIGIT) of the European Commission. My sector has a multifaceted and active role in shaping Europe's digital future encompassing the delivery of reusable digital solutions, the management of large Digital Transformation projects and advancing the Web3 (r)evolution. Given my mixed profile, with a background in economics and extensive experience in implementing digital systems, I have spent over two decades working at the intersection of policy development and its implementation across Europe: (1) Alongside DG GROW • Drafting of Implementing Regulation on setting out the operational and technical specifications of the Once-Only System part of the Single Digital Gateway Regulation. • Promotion of the European Standard on eInvoicing tasked to CEN and published by the European Commission following Directive 2014/55/EU. • Contributing to the development of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) as part of the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). (2) Alongside DG CNECT • Rollout of eID, eSignature and eDelivery according to the eIDAS Regulation. • Formation of the Blockchain European Digital Infrastructure Consortium, a new mechanism for multi-country projects created as part of the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030. • Contributing to the development of the European Digital Identity wallet as part of the new European Digital Identity Framework. Prior to my role at the European Commission, I held the Director position in the Technology Strategy & Architecture practice of Deloitte Belgium. In this capacity, I headed the Strategy and Enterprise Architecture teams delivering complex services to the European Institutions. Preceding this, I was a Senior Manager in the Technology Practice of PwC Belgium where I worked with the European Commission on interoperability projects and in the financial sector on IT governance and Enterprise Architecture projects. My career started as a Consultant with Unisys working in large EU-wide projects. These experiences, spanning over two decades, gave me invaluable skills and insights into applying emerging trends and technologies in the creation of innovative digital services and large public digital infrastructures in multiple sectors from eHealth to Education, Social Security, Customs and Taxation, and others. I’m also a regular speaker in eGov and Web3 events such as the GovTech Summit or the European Blockchain Convention. Let's connect and explore opportunities for collaboration.
