Skills

I treat business and technology as a system, not as silos. Strategy, data, platforms and people move together, so the roadmap you can expect will be aligned to your organisational needs and business & technology maturity. My core strengths: - Strategic clarity: translate growth, cost and risk objectives into data & technology driven roadmaps that boards can fund and teams can execute. - Programme & portfolio leadership: steer multi-million initiatives under tight regulatory and time constraints with stage-gate governance. - AI & data expertise" co-founder of AI Community Belgium (5 000+ professionals); hands-on with knowledge architectures, analytics platforms and enterprise AI readiness. - Cyber & compliance mindset: design ISO-aligned, NIS2-ready controls that protect the business while encouraging innovation. - Cross-functional influence: build consensus around system-wide value, not silo metrics. - People multiplier: grow multi-disciplinary teams and embed processes that keep delivering long after the engagement ends. Result: technology that behaves like a business partner; accountable for revenue, resilience and customer trust.
