I am a dynamic international leader with over 25 years of experience in finance, human development & technology who successfully combines strategic consulting and executive C- & Board level leadership with an academic perspective, enabling me to implement forward-thinking innovative strategies that drive sustainable performance & double-digit revenue growth in several industries. Based on excellent people & business development skills, I have built a strong track record in driving profitable growth, operational efficiency and strategic expansion through digital/AI-driven business transformations. As a former (global) Big 4 partner, I assisted numerous clients in implementing global turnaround and value creation strategies . I am seen as a quick learner and empathic team energizer with a strong action-oriented entrepreneurial mindset who is passionate about getting the best out of people by not only inspiring them but also empowering them to reach their full potential in collaboration with others. Initiatives that I have launched such as the Emerging Leadership Program and the Young Innovation Board at Trifinance have empowered high-potential talent, driving engagement, and enhancing leadership succession. Furthermore, my involvement in sustainability and impact-driven programs such as “Trifinance for impact” align seamlessly with the evolving expectations of modern businesses to integrate ESG principles into core strategies. Beyond the boardroom, I identify and nurture top talent early on as a visiting professor at KU Leuven and the University of Antwerp. What sets me apart ? A unique combination of business, consulting & academia
