I am an Electromechanical Engineer by education, with demonstrated expertise in Supply Chain, Logistics, and Finance. After gaining experience in Brewery Operations, Demand and Supply planning, and leading Logistics Supply Chain Planning teams, I transitioned into leading the Supply Chain Finance Department to strengthen my financial decision-making skills. Now, as Chief Supply Chain Officer at Vento, I lead the end-to-end supply chain for a rapidly growing international manufacturer in the ventilation industry. Vento’s network spans Belgium, Poland, and Germany, with a global footprint extending to the U.S. Through operational excellence and strategic supply chain management, we continue to scale profitably while maintaining industry-leading quality. A continuous learner at heart, I have completed a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification, Harvard’s Finance Program (CORe) and I’m currently following Vlerick’s Executive Programme on Corporate Finance. I believe that combining proficiency on Supply Chain with Financial insight is key to making smarter business decisions.
