• Being a teacher for 10 years in primary schools in Diegem and Molenbeek equipped me with practical tools on how to share knowledge with students. This experience has become a great asset in the next chapter of my career. • My IT journey started in 2005 through my work position at Insight as an enterprise account manager. After a first tough year, I never wanted to give up and during almost 9 years at Insight, I've built a proven track record in enterprise software, sales and partner relationship management through optimizing Microsoft Volume Licensing Contracts.• A turning point happened when I joined SoftwareONE in 2014, as a country manager in charge of whole operations in BeLux. Being a country leader at a company which has 1650 consultants with $3.3B in annual sales in 80+ countries. Biggest lesson learned was how to build business from scratch.• In 2015, I hired my current business partner Raf De Backer as an Oracle expert.
