Hans Bourlon is the co-founder of Studio 100, which he launched in 1996 with Gert Verhulst and Danny Verbiest. What started as a single television production with just five employees has grown into a global family entertainment powerhouse, spanning TV productions, musicals, feature films, animation, publishing, digital media, merchandising, licensing, and 11 theme parks across Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland.

Today, Hans, alongside Gert Verhulst, continues to drive the company’s vision. Studio 100 now employs over 1,000 people worldwide and operates offices in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, and the United States.

Hans is also an author, having published De Blik van Bourlon (2017) and De Tijdreiziger (2019), and in 2019, together with his brother Joost, he launched the private museum initiative Het Kunstuur.
