    As a consultant, I worked with several clients, including De Wijnboetiek in Berchem, primarily providing support for sales and marketing. After more than a year, I took over the store and managed it for two years. I then made the strategic decision to integrate De Wijnboetiek into Qualivino, a family-owned wine business in Lier, to ensure the store’s long-term success and drive greater growth than I could achieve alone. Today, I remain responsible for De Wijnboetiek, which has now become the second physical location of Qualivino.
