While my bread and butter is advising leadership teams on corporate culture and reputation challenges, I keep a close pulse on the entrepreneurship and innovations emerging from Belgium. This is the topic of my latest column (in Dutch) in Trends Kanaal Z, the Belgian economic magazine. A record number of entrepreneurs are aspiring for success in the US, making this a thrilling era for Belgian innovation. The US - with its 25 trillion dollar GDP, 340 million residents and abundant capital - is the world's largest and most dynamic consumer market. However, the journey from aspiration to achievement involves navigating a maze of rules and regulations. This is where the vibrant and independent Belgian-American Chamber of Commerce (BelCham) steps in. Together with our government representatives, the BelCham community assists in simplifying these complexities. 20 ambitious Belgian companies participated in BelCham’s online ‘US Readiness’ program this month, eager to penetrate the American market. This meticulously crafted course aids in sharpening their expansion plans, providing expert advice tailored to promoting growth and overcoming obstacles. Having listened in on this program, I'm inspired by the courage, diversity, and world-class talent emanating from our country. The five-day immersion experience has left me feeling confident in the future of Belgian entrepreneurship on the global stage. Let's continue to support and celebrate the innovative spirit of our entrepreneurs!

Last year I visited the groundbreaking #plantfwd event and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was one of the most inspiring and insightful food events I visited. Back then I set myself a goal: to be on stage in the 2024 event. And I made it! Next Wednesday Sebastiaan Aalst and me will be showing that there are 6 distinct groups of consumers, who have a different set of values with regards to the food choices that they make. We will explain the #FoodProfiles that we at Future of Food Institute developed together with Food Cabinet - creative agency for good food. See you there? ---- Know Your Food Profiles 15:00 - 16:00 It’s the key to food marketing: get the right messages to the right target groups. But many segmentation models of consumers don't seem to cut it. Therefore, Sebastiaan Aalst and Durk Bosma decided to take matters into their own hands. They created Food Profiles. After years of research and campaigning experience, they've launched their practical and goal-oriented approach to food marketing segmentation. During this interactive workshop, you’ll look inside the fridges of Food Profiles. p.s. If you can't make it to the session, but you would like to talk to me, please book a meeting through the excellent #plantfwd app. p.p.s. I feel extremely proud (and also humble) to be on the list of speakers together with leaders such as Rutger Bregman and Roanne van Voorst, Ph.D.

My 5 Key Learnings of Day 1 of GreenTech Forum Brussels 1) Sustainable IT in Belgium is very much in the awareness phase; France is leading the way 2) Large organisations are taking action with tools, standards and startups to support them 3) There is a huge challenge: reducing the impact of digital versus the growth of new technology (AI!!) 4) Eco-design considers the entire lifecycle of a digital system and aims to reduce waste (in terms of hardware, resources, unused features, etc.). 5) An architecture that excels in sustainability will also excel in terms of performance, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction! #GTFBrussels #SustainableIT #GreenIT #ITforGreen

𝟯, 𝟮, 𝟭… 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲! We’re proud to officially announce the launch of 10 ops – The Opportunity Company! Over the past few years supporting Mitsubishi Chemical Group, I had the privilege of working closely with Tim Vorage. During this time, we not only collaborated on several innovative and successful projects but also discovered a shared entrepreneurial spirit. One day, I approached Tim with an idea I wanted to discuss. Coincidentally, he had also been meaning to share an idea with me. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into a four-hour whiteboard session at the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. in Aachen. That session ultimately led to the founding of 10 Ops. So here we go!   𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝟭𝟬 𝗢𝗽𝘀? In today’s fast-moving world, every industry is undergoing rapid change. Organizations must either adapt or take the lead in shaping this transformation. At 10 Ops – The Opportunity Company, we specialize in turning opportunities into actionable operations with an entrepreneurial mindset. Through data-driven analysis, we identify and capitalize on new business opportunities, helping organizations transform potential into success. Special thanks to Karine Miller a brilliant and very talented brand designer who helped us to develop the 10 ops brand identity!   10 ops commercetools TRIMM MAPEGY Akela Hub Wevolver

𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 ☕️💛 The new website is live 🥳🎉🧭 www.ocompass.be After deciding to finally pursue my dream of working independently in a field I would never get bored of, I didn’t really know where to start. The hardest part of transitioning from being an employee to being independent was not having amazing colleagues to work with. It felt like jumping into unknown waters without knowing how to navigate, and I didn’t bother to check where the available life vests were 🧐 I just knew it was time. Today, I am happy to say that I found a network of support, even though we’re not linked through an employer. #community It has been a long road getting the website live, and an even longer one feeling ready to put it all - out there - 🔥 Every time I thought, "Check, now I'm good to go," I’d discover new obstacles, to-dos, possible tweaks and improvements. 𝐀 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞. So here I go, trusting my gut that is telling me it's go time and feeling happy knowing we can always add on, improve, learn, and grow as we move along our paths. 𝐈 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬.𝐛𝐞, which was entirely built by my dear friend Willem-Jan Dryvers ocompass has been in the making for four years now, ever since I quit my first job and turned my whole life around because I knew I wanted something different. 🧭 Follow your compass home. 🧭 Feel free. 🧭 Feel happy and healthy. 🧭 Experience joy.

Rituals Cosmetics Pledges 10% of Net Profit to Charity Rituals Cosmetics, the renowned Dutch lifestyle brand, has announced a significant commitment to giving back. Starting from 2025, the company will donate 10% of its annual net profit to charitable causes[1][2]. Key points: • Initiative begins in 2025, using profits from the previous year[4] • Donations will support various charitable org’s and projects • CEO Raymond Cloosterman emphasises that "success comes with responsibility"[3] This bold move of #zigging when the competition #zags aligns Rituals with a growing trend of ‘good’ business, demonstrating their dedication to making a positive impact beyond their product offerings. The company's success in the competitive beauty and wellness market has positioned them well to give back to society. As industry leaders, this sets a new benchmark. It will be interesting to see how this impacts Rituals' brand perception and whether it inspires similar actions from other at-scale players. Good intentions need relentless actions in execution.

1 in 9 women in Belgium faces breast cancer, and each year, over 2,000 Belgian women lose their battle with the disease. These alarming figures highlight the continued need for awareness. At C&A, we are committed to doing our part, which is why we are launching the podcast series ‘Stronger Together Against Breast Cancer’ hosted by Evy Gruyaert. No one should face breast cancer alone. For those affected, cancer can be an intensely personal experience, often accompanied by feelings of isolation. That’s why it’s so important to keep talking and listening. This podcast and awareness campaign aim to contribute to this crucial conversation. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to share the message that we are #StrongerTogether. In four podcast episodes, Evy speaks with survivors and experts, highlighting the importance of self-examination, sharing tips, and finding moments of hope after a breast cancer diagnosis. Guests include actress Ann Vanden Broeck, Nieuwsblad editor-in-chief Liesbeth van Impe, content creator Ruth Van Soom, and entrepreneur Dorien Camps. You can find all episodes of the podcast ‘Stronger Together Against Breast Cancer’ https://lnkd.in/eqm_E85P In addition to the podcast, C&A is launching several other initiatives across Belgium to support the fight against breast cancer. Together with stylist Lien Degol, we are hosting exclusive and personalized Intimate Styling Sessions in our stores for small groups of (former) breast cancer patients after closing hours. The aim is to stop being a cancer patient for a moment and simply enjoy a carefree, pleasant evening. Let's continue to spread awareness and support this important cause. 💗 #StrongerTogether #CAInitiatives #BreastCancerAwareness C&A
