VOO is the leading cable company in the south of Belgium offering quad play products. After defining the product specifications (incl. award winning Videowall feature) and choosing the right partners for the next generation TV product, I took over the role of Program Director, managing the whole program implementation during two years. This meant coordinating internal and suppliers teams until the birth of the new decoder. .evasion (commercial branding of the project) was successfully launched, delighting customers and reaching significant sales figures. .evasion was nominated two times in international innovation awards and won the "Industry Innovator of the Year" award from Digital TV Europe.
