Brussels, Brussels Region, Belgium
Being a Branch manager of a multinational company with 20y+ experience in the payment industry (American Express, Mastercard) I remember well the times when I tried to figure out my future. From conducting food demo’s and selling in supermarkets, being an extra in tv-serials to dressing up as Santa Claus in shopping malls; it helped me to discover my strengths, weaknesses, what I want and don’t want. Most of all it made me discover and embrace the changes and opportunities at the end of my comfort zone. Born in a little village in Belgium I followed my heart which led me to Russia where I lived for many years. Besides learning the Russian language this gave me the opportunity to travel and conduct business in Russia and CIS countries, Ukraine, Israel, and Turkey. My past experiences and current Benelux leader role match well with my drive to get things done in a collaborative and engaging way whilst the challenges motivate me to further develop my teams(ters) and myself. Balancing my exciting professional life with my personal life I love to travel, enjoy gastronomy, and burn the calories playing tennis and table tennis.
