As Co-Director of the Drop’n Rock Festival, I led sponsorship, marketing, and overall event operations, managing the festival roadmap and coordinating with our French team in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. This role allowed me to combine my passion for music with project management, cross-border collaboration, and strategic planning, delivering memorable experiences for artists and audiences alike.

• High-Level Governance: Served as Vice President of Publifin, the public holding company for the Nethys Group, active in Energy, Media, and Telecommunications. • Scale & Scope: The Nethys Group employed over 3,000 people with a total enterprise value close to €3 Billion, providing experience in overseeing strategic decisions within a large-scale, multi-sector environment. • Executive Relations: Gained invaluable insight into complex corporate governance, and the management of strategic relationships with major shareholders and top corporate leadership.

As Vice-Chair and later Secretary of the Executive Committee, I contributed to the strategic and operational governance of Servidis, a social enterprise active in Belgium’s domestic services sector. My role included board-level oversight, recruitment initiatives, and supporting the organization’s mission to promote ethical employment and community impact.

As Co-Founder and Managing Partner of TD Think Different, I helped lead the acquisition and management of a local printing company while developing innovative digital solutions for the publishing industry. I oversaw commercial strategy, client relations, and product specifications, actively contributing to the design and development of a custom CRM/ERP platform for magazine subscription management — later sold to Belgomedia, then the Belgian subsidiary of Bayard Presse and Roularta. I also managed daily operations of the printing business before selling my shares to focus on new professional opportunities within the Bayard Group.
