Bertem
Summary
Connector of dots, storyteller, strategic thinker, analytical mind, strong communicator and empathic leader.
My executive career led me from software engineering to product management, marketing and international strategy roles, leading legal, communication, new business and ventures teams as well as HR, digital workplace and agile transformation.
I am also a regular guest lecturer at the Vlerick MBA on Corporate innovation and at the University of Brussels on Corporate reputation.
I hold board mandates at Imec and Bpost.
Leaving Telenet in 2025, I would like to focus my energy and skills on advisory, coaching & non-executive board roles, preferably in large international companies.
