• Age: 54 years
• Location: Leuven
• Background: Atypical civil engineer with more than 10 years of experience as a freelancer.
• Experience: I alternate between supporting startups and taking on strategic interim roles at various companies. My career has exposed me to a wide range of corporate cultures and business models, from large players like AB InBev to smaller enterprises and everything in between.
• Current Roles: Digital transformation coach at Odum, mentor at Ambits and Voka, and end-to-end transformation manager at Inetum.

My Core Competencies

• Integrity & Fairness: I stand for honesty and ethical principles in all my professional interactions.
• Holistic Vision: My strength lies in quickly understanding new and complex situations. I maintain an overview, analyze the context, and grasp the essence of challenges.
• Connecting People: I enjoy collaborating, sharing knowledge, and learning from others. With an end-to-end mindset, I easily connect departments, initiatives, people, systems, and data. I thrive on high-level, conceptual discussions and can quickly provide direction and navigate within complex environments.
• Change & Innovation: I thrive in change processes and strategic innovations, defining a clear North Star and encouraging out-of-the-box, outside-in, and ecosystem thinking. I drive transformations using a multifaceted approach, focusing on both the hard aspects (business metrics, KPIs, processes, technology) and the soft aspects (mindset and people-oriented elements).
• Technology: I have experience in selecting and implementing various software platforms, though I am not a deep technical expert. I’ve led change programs with tools like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, and others.
• Variety & Challenge: I am an entrepreneur with a strong need for variety and challenging projects. Starting new initiatives, whether with startups or growing organizations, energizes me.
• Not Business-as-Usual: My energy doesn’t come from routine work or perfecting the last 10% of projects, but from achieving impactful changes.
