Personal Details

Bio

I’m a creative intrapreneur with a deep passion for people, technology and innovation. Travelling the world, working in global teams, and enjoying everyday serendipitous encounters with amazing people has reinforced my awe and curiosity with the human potential and the mind. My calling is to contribute to social good and human flourishing by solving complex challenges elegantly through the use of the right tools, in the right place, with the right people.

My Background:

I bring +6y experience in leading international product innovations 360° - from market research, strategy articulation & planning, to orchestrating the cross-functional execution. I’ve had the opportunity to work in varied sectors and geographies, including Europe, China, and North Africa.

In my current role as an Innovation Manager at a leading 3D Printing company, I’m steering the development of a new wearable for the geriatric market. In parallel, I assist organizations from different sizes and industries to identify sweet-spot opportunities of 3D Printing, and help translate these into game-changing applications via co-creation journeys.

I'm steering committee member of the Prince Albert Fund (http://www.princealbertfund.be), a leading non-profit offering catalytic stretch assignments to young potentials. I focus on diversity and Inclusion and I'm championing the business model innovation as to exponentially increase our impact by 2020.
