After graduating from UCLL in 2001, I began my professional journey in operations and client management, progressing into leadership roles over the following decade. In 2020, after 15 years in the corporate world, I transitioned into the innovation ecosystem by joining Wallonie Entreprendre (WE) as EuroQuity Belgium Manager. In this role, I support startups and scale-ups in securing growth capital by connecting them with venture capital investors. More recently, I initiated the launch of StartupWallonia (www.startup-wallonia.be ), an initiative aimed at strengthening the visibility and positioning of the Walloon startup ecosystem. I am passionate about connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem partners to foster innovation and sustainable economic growth.
