Leen Segers has been working with startups in the consumer media and tech space for almost ten years. In 2007, she set up the Marketing & Business Development department for the European startup Netlog (81 million registered members, backed by Index Ventures & Atomico). In 2011, she moved to London and went from evangelising Social Media to Online Video targeting media & entertainment companies in the UK and EMEA. She first worked for open source video platform Kaltura (short form video), followed by Saffron Digital (part of HTC, TV series & movies, mostly subscription based). In 2014, she returned to Brussels to lead the newly founded tech publication covering the European technology industry, tech.eu, as a COO alongside Robin Wauters. This challenge led in April 2016 up to her co-founding the startup EEYOU. In collaboration with Europe’s (public) broadcasters and most talented producers, EEYOU wants to provide easy access to curated, high quality VR content.
Together with Screen.Brussels, she has founded the "Women in VR Europe" initiative, aimed to empower European women in VR, AR and other future visual technologies. Screen.Brussels is a Brussels based Cluster who’s vision is to position the Brussels-Capital Region as a centre of excellence for audiovisual and related innovative technologies worldwide.
