I’m born in 1975, 1 year before Apple, 2 days after Microsoft.​

For any “Gen-Z”,  I’d be old! Or let’s say…experienced.​ First lines of Basic code on a Sinclair ZX-81 at age 7,​ (first job as seller from 13 yo)​ and never dropped my fascination for having “machines doing the job” ever since.​

I have led Digital Transformation service delivery for 20+ years with P&L ownership:​

 - starting with my own company in 1993, and then at Xerox,  Fujitsu, and CSC/DXC,​

- in the roles of Head of, managing consultant, program manager and solution architect​

- as Managing Director of a 90 heads company focusing on C&SI and Security services, ​

- to prepare it for a Merger and Acquisition​

- overall, 30 years of experience in Digital Transformation​

​

I joined IBM in 2013, to lead the Enterprise Content Management software portfolio sales in BeLux (both countries, all routes to market, all segments).​

In 2018, when IBM merged the “Content” and “Process” software business lines, I’ve been appointed to the “Strategic” segment in Belgium for the resulting Digital Business Automation (DBA) software pilar. ​

In 2019, IBM planned an extension of the Business Automation portfolio by adding Process Mining, RPA and AI-driven Digital Workers. I joined the EMEA sales leadership team on these subjects and portfolio components to lead the go-to-market for both direct and ecosystem-driven routes to market. ​

In this role I evangelize and advise these topics to CxO’s, enable IBMers across 140 countries and build the Ecosystem of business partners (based on a 2+2 approach) in the EMEA region.​

All in all:​

- I spent the last 30 years digitizing business processes with my own company and corporate market leaders ​

- I’m having a decade of experience supporting the AI-driven Digital Automation business of IBM.​
