Antwerp, Belgium

I am an experienced Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex infrastructure and software projects across diverse industries, including government, aerospace, and IT. My expertise spans full project lifecycles, from business case development and resource planning to risk management and stakeholder communication. I excel in both Agile and Waterfall methodologies, tailoring my approach to suit the specific needs of each project. With a focus on clear communication and efficient problem-solving, I ensure projects stay on track and within budget, while keeping all stakeholders informed and engaged. My hands-on experience in change management, from user training to strategic planning, helps ensure smooth transitions and long-term adoption of new technologies. Fluency in English, Dutch, and French allows me to thrive in multicultural environments and bring a collaborative, results-driven approach to team leadership.
