06 · Beyond the work
What shaped me beyond work.
Football, technology, travel and the quality of human connection have shaped how I compete, learn and work with others.
01Football
8years · Standard de Liège
+
2years · KAS Eupen
The pitch changed. The mindset stayed.
I spent eight years at Standard de Liège and two at Eupen, regularly wearing the captain’s armband. A car accident interrupted that path and led to more than a year of rehabilitation, including learning to walk again. Football left me with more than a taste for competition: self-improvement, discipline and responsibility towards a team.
02Technology
Progress is technological. Value is human.
I believe technology can improve society when it is placed in the right hands. At the same time, the more digital the world becomes, the more valuable the non-digital becomes: trust, thoughtful service and high-quality human interaction. In business, these are not soft extras; they are strategic assets.
03Spanish & travel
A language learned through people.
Spanish grew out of travel, friendships and a genuine affection for the culture. In Mallorca and Lanzarote, trips became lasting friendships. I value the warmth, directness and social energy of Spanish culture—and the way speaking the language lets you experience a place beyond the surface.
04Helping & sharing
The faster the world becomes, the more valuable it is to take time for people.
Helping, sharing knowledge and connecting people matter to me in everyday life. As more interactions become fast or automated, taking time to explain, listen and support others feels even more important.
