Meet Hendrik-Jan: Championing culture and community through technology

Hendrik-Jan J. is a principal enterprise architect on the ServiceNow.org team—the crew dedicated to helping nonprofit organizations thrive. For the past nine years, he’s been making an impact at ServiceNow and beyond, championing a culture in the Netherlands and inspiring colleagues to get involved.

In 2020, Hendrik-Jan connected with the founders of the Ndlovu Care Group, a nonprofit based in Northeast Johannesburg that’s changing lives with essential services such as childcare, healthcare, community care, and education.

Inspired by Ndlovu’s incredible work, Hendrik-Jan saw an opportunity for ServiceNow to make a real difference. With the help of a donated instance of the ServiceNow Platform, Ndlovu streamlined health records and tracked care for 5,000 children, leading to a 53% reduction in child malnutrition.

The transformation was stunning. As the kids grew healthier, their energy and confidence soared. In 2009, that joy gave rise to the creation of the Ndlovu Youth Choir, a group that has since performed on global stages, including “America’s Got Talent.”
