About

I began my career in 1997 with the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (Mol, Belgium). I have participated in research projects related to radioactive waste disposal. In 2003, I have joined MDS Nordion, a Canadian radioisotope producer. I have carried out several projects for designing and commissioning of new production lines, and for industrial process optimization. I have started working for Tractebel in 2010 as Project Manager within the Nuclear Entity. In 2011 I took up the position of Business Manager, in charge of the International Nuclear Plant Operation Support Services. In 2015 I became Business Development, Marketing & Sales Director of the Belgian Nuclear Entity of Tractebel, combining the position of Head of Development & Strategy of the Global Nuclear Business Line from 2018. I am now heading the Global Business Development and Marketing of Tractebel. I am also President of the Belgian Nuclear Forum (since November 2018).
