Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Entrepreneur and business developer with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of finance, real estate, and commerce.

I started my career in hospitality, eventually co-managing several establishments between Brussels and Knokke. An unparalleled training ground for understanding management, customer experience, and rapid decision-making.

For 20 years (2006–2025), I worked in the financial sector, specializing in mortgage credit, savings, and investments within the AFI/Wilink group, holding both commercial and operational roles. I am proficient in structuring broker networks, performance piloting, and customer relationship management in regulated environments.

Passionate about real estate since always: acquisition, renovation, wealth management, architecture; I live and breathe this subject both professionally and personally.

I also support event and entrepreneurial projects (Tenerife Golf Event, Jelo.travel), with a strong taste for organization, strategy, and concrete implementation.

Outside of work, I am a diving instructor with over 1,000 dives worldwide; another way to explore, supervise, and push boundaries.
