About Damien

I help SMEs structure, connect, and automate their operations to save time, reduce manual tasks, and ensure reliable processes.

Problems addressed:

→ Tools that don't communicate
→ Dispersed information
→ Manual customer follow-up
→ Re-entry between emails, CRM, invoicing, and reporting
→ Lack of operational visibility
→ Excessive reliance on key individuals

⚙ My method = Structure → Connect → Automate → Optimize

1. Structure processes
Mapping of workflows, tools, data, business rules, and friction points.

2. Connect tools
Integration between CRM, email, Google Workspace, Airtable, Notion, invoicing tools, reporting, and business tools.

3. Automate repetitive tasks
Workflows for customer requests, quotes, bookings, reminders, support, reporting, and internal notifications.

4. Optimize the system
Documentation, training, and continuous improvement to make the team autonomous.

Use case examples:

→ Automate inbound request processing
→ Centralize customer data
→ Connect forms, CRM, and emails
→ Generate automatic follow-ups
→ Create operational dashboards
→ Integrate AI agents with internal databases

Goal: Transform dispersed operations into reliable, simple, and reproducible systems.

  • KitesurfBelgium School
    Manager & Operational Manager
    SPORTS
    January 2024 - Today (2 years and 5 months)
    Knokke-Heist, Belgium
    Direction and operational structuring of a kitesurfing school that was taken over and developed, welcoming several hundred students per year, with over 200 courses annually and a team of 10 to 12 instructors.

    Main responsibilities:

    → Schedule and booking management
    → Instructor coordination
    → Customer journey optimization
    → Payment and communication structuring
    → Digital experience improvement
    → Financial and organizational steering
    → Overhaul of internal tools and processes

    This role allowed me to practically test automation logic applied to services: booking, customer communication, team coordination, administrative follow-up, and user experience.

    This experience now fuels my approach at Automate Lab: starting from the field, understanding processes, and then automating only what truly simplifies operations.
