With over 30 years of experience in the defence domain, I am the Director of Finabel HQ, the European Land Force Commanders Organisation, where I lead the management and daily business of the organisation.

My passion for military interoperability guides my mission to enhance collaboration and mutual understanding among European land forces. I am actively involved in several NATO and EU working groups, where I contribute to international cooperation and effective dialogue on defence policies and issues. I also represent Finabel on a broader stage as a Senior Subject Matter Expert on Cyber Defence.

I welcome the opportunity to connect with anyone who shares my interests and goals.

Militair


Als voormalig militair (1e sergeant majoor) met 27 jaar ervaring als vrijwilliger en onderofficier bij een infanterie-eenheid, close protection team (DAS) en militaire inlichtingendienst (SGRS) ben ik nu tewerkgesteld als docent/projectleider.

Met mijn ervaring in het werken onder extreme omstandigheden, sterke communicatievaardigheden en zich aanpassen aan elke mogelijke situatie..alleen of met een team pas ik mijn opgedane kennis toe om impact te creëren bij mijn cursisten ongedacht over welke vorming/training het ook gaat.

Ik breng de realiteit van het veld naar de werkvloer en zorg voor een “no nonsense” ervaring.
