About

I am proudly leading a strong team of business project managers and agile coaches transforming each day the Allianz Benelux organization. In parallel, I am also actively working as a project manager to support initiatives within the company, going from more business-driven studies to larger organizational & IT transformation initiatives. Though I can be very autonomous, I am first of all a team player. Making people around me grow is what gets me out of bed every morning!
