About

I’m a seasoned telecom and ICT expert with 20+ years of experience delivering complex, high-impact projects across Europe. I help telcos, public agencies, and system integrators build and optimize mission-critical infrastructure — from 5G core networks and OSS integration to cloud-native platforms and IoT systems. With a strong blend of technical depth and strategic insight, I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams through end-to-end project lifecycles — from RFP drafting and vendor selection to deployment and go-live. I hold an Executive MBA from Vlerick Business School and a NATO Secret Clearance, enabling me to operate in both private and government contexts. Based in Brussels — available for freelance missions in Belgium and across the EU.
