As a dedicated professional with a strong foundation in operational excellence, project mngmt, & logistics solutions, I’ve built my career delivering impactful results & driving improvements across complex operational environments. My experience spans quality management, customer implementation, project mgmt, & the execution of continuous improvement strategies.

At DHL Freight, I acquired experience in quality management & project leadership, collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize processes, meet financial targets, & deliver on company objectives. I’ve led training initiatives to empower operations teams, fostered continuous improvement cultures, & served as a critical liaison between commercial & operational teams to implement transformative solutions for customers both locally & internationally.

Previously, at Bpost Parcels & Logistics, I played a key role in launching innovative delivery services & supporting last-mile logistics for major eCommerce players. My ability to coordinate diverse stakeholders & implement operational solutions set me apart as a reliable expert in logistics innovation.

Earlier in my career at Katoen Natie, I contributed to designing tailored logistics solutions for industries ranging from DIY & consumer electronics to pharmaceuticals. Whether starting up warehouses across Europe or analyzing transportation networks for optimization, I developed a deep understanding of supply chain dynamics.

My journey has been defined by a passion for collaboration, a drive to overcome challenges, & an eagerness to learn & grow. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can bring strategic insights & analytical thinking, contributing to organizational success while fostering personal growth.

Fluent in Dutch, English, & proficient in French, I bring a global perspective to my work, complemented by an academic background in Business Engineering from KU Leuven, with enriching exchange experiences in Australia & China.
