Stef Vermeulen - Country Manager Belgium at Stoïk | Former CEO of CyberContract I am Stef Vermeulen, currently serving as the Country Manager for Belgium at Stoïk. With a unique blend of strong technical knowledge and commercial drive, I have established myself as a key figure in protecting Belgian businesses against digital threats. Prior to my current role, I was the General Manager and CEO of CyberContract, a pioneering Belgian firm specializing in cyber insurance. Under my leadership, we became a market reference, known for our "inclusion over exclusion" approach and our dedication to helping companies—particularly SMEs—recover swiftly from incidents. I played a pivotal role in the company's growth, culminating in our strategic acquisition by Stoïk in September 2025. Now leading Stoïk’s Belgian operations, I focus on expanding our footprint by combining comprehensive insurance coverage with proactive cybersecurity services. As a frequent speaker and advocate for digital safety, I actively help brokers and entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of cyber risk management.
