Where I come from.

Having graduated in law from UCLouvain , I have held management positions in leading international groups in their sector of activity, including 20 years as a director of various European subsidiaries of the Crédit Lyonnais group (now Crédit Agricole group) and as chairman of the management committee and the executive board of Belgian and French subsidiaries of the Deutsche Bank group.

As an active investor, partner-shareholder and director in various Belgian and foreign companies with activities in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, I have advised and managed groups and companies of different cultures and sizes, particularly in sectors as varied as banking and insurance, transport, distribution, digital marketing, agri-food, construction, real estate and the creative industry.

Along with other experts, I advised the Belgian government on the supervision and recovery of the financial sector following the 2008 banking crisis.

Working with renowned law firms, I handle major litigation and negotiate commercial and strategic contracts (M&A, Joint Ventures, fundraising, etc.)

Throughout my career, I continued to train, notably at the Wharton School , University of Pennsylvania . I specialized in negotiation and alternative dispute resolution (arbitration and mediation).

Since 2018, I have been a lawyer, accredited mediator in civil and commercial matters, arbitrator, expert and court-appointed representative.

Native French speaker, I speak and work fluently in English and Dutch.
