I am Julf (Johan) Helsingius, Finnish citizen resident in the Netherlands (so my region is Europe), male and currently employed as chairman of the board at IoT service provider BaseN.
As far as I know, I don't have any conflict of interest, but in the spirit of transparency I am currently serving as the chair for the Finnish Internet Association (the ISOC chapter in Finland), and co-chair for the RIPE cooperation working group.
I am now serving my first term as NCSG chair, but the pile of unfinished stuff is still pretty high, so I would be happy to serve for a second term, so I can with good conscience say what every chair should be able to say - "I left the NCSG in slightly better shape than how it was when I started".
As to qualifications, i am not going to list my CV, but I have served as chair, board member or CEO for many organisations, both commercial and non-commercial, and my privacy activism and strong belief in human rights is pretty well known.
As my employment is part-time these days, I have the time required.
