Summary
Experienced certified auditor, I have a long-standing experience in the audit of companies of various sizes and active in many different sectors.
Besides my expertise in the audit of industrial and service companies, I am also accredited by the Control Office of the Mutual Health Funds and the National Unions of Mutual Health Funds, the National Bank of Belgium and the Financial Services and Markets Authority.
Thanks to a strong entrepreneurial mindset, with a focus on creating added value for clients, empowering people, and long-term relationships, for a bit more than two years I've been actively contributing to the development and growth of the Walloon region's (multidisciplinary) activities of the firm in which I'm currently active. Thanks to my accreditations, I'm also actively involved in supporting KPMG's Financial Services department.
Amongst my other activities, I’m Lecturer at HEC Management School - University of Liège, in charge of IRE's training seminar in company law for several years.
