Maarten Van Severen Email & Phone Number

I am a coach and people manager with 15 years of experience as general manager, project manager and chairman. Interpersonal contact is very important to me, both within and outside an organisation.Due to my many chairmanships I have developed my skills as facilitator to a senior level.As a promoter/initiator, I have launched, developed, coordinated and completed many projects and organisations during my career (pls see CV for an non-exhaustive list)I am a born networker and over the years - in my various functions - I have built up a vast (international) network.Solving short and medium term problems, mediation in conflicts and resolving "crisis" situations are in my DNA. As a lobbyist I have dealt with many conflicts and crisis situations.Thanks to my years of experience as a spokesperson I know how crucial it is to communicate in the right and appropriate way. I have repeatedly addressed the press (TV, radio, newspaper, magazines), and have given hundreds of presentations, lectures, seminars and workshops in Belgium, Europe, USA, Russia, China, ...I have gained a lot of (B2B) sales experience. Examples of this include VLABOTEX (max market share), the WTSC, FBT, "Care4Quality", ...As a generalist I have come into contact with many different issues due to the diversity of assignments I have performed during my many years. I can quickly adapt to new situations and I connect easily with (new) people.Although I'm a generalist, there are also some themes that are dear to me. Sustainability, circular economy, reuse, green energy, etc., are things I feel particularly passionate about.Pragmatic (and technical "hands on") implementation of these themes enjoy my preference.Senior levelGeneral management and Project managementCoach and people manager FacilitatorPromoter/initiatorNetworker Problem Solving Lobbyist SpokespersonGeneralist SustainabilityEnvironmentalTextile (services)Hands on
