INTRODUCTION
After a career in the printing industry and then as a teacher/developer, employed with an American "Fortune 500" company, most of which as a senior manager. Communicative dynamic leader in various roles both locally and internationally where I worked with my team to implement projects and strategies. Recruited in a leading role at VAB, a subsidiary of KBC to implement information security based on the ISO/IEC27001 standard in order to increase maturity, raise awareness and meet the cyber security controls standard of the group.
I enjoy working with multiculturally diverse teams and find the most satisfaction in a job where I get an opportunity to grow and excel together with and my team. I feel that something has been accomplished only when my team can prove our added value and when we satisfy stakeholders.
My ultimate goal is to work in an organization where customer focus and striving for perfection can make the difference. A broad and diverse technical background, communication skills and building relationships/networks are my strongest assets.
