Read more about her in her own words:
After graduating from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Solvay Business School), I’m still proud that my highest grade was in management control! (Admittedly, I was less enthusiastic about some of the other courses.)
I’m Belgian, but throughout my career I’ve had the chance to travel across Europe. This experience has shaped me into an “all-terrain” financial manager, with a solid background in both commercial and non-commercial sectors.
Numbers may be part of my DNA, but I’m a curious person above all. These days, I’m also the proud mother of two grown-up children whose passions and ideas spark endless conversations in our house — often challenging old narratives and helping reimagine new futures.
I’m delighted to be joining ERGO Network and look forward to contributing to its mission.
