As former Financial Director of Primetals Technologies Belgium, a group company of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, I have the advantage to combine the experience of a small entity within an important industrial group and to understand the needs of both structures (small and big). Throughout my 30-year career, I have held multiple financial positions, which now enable me to have an excellent overall understanding of needs in accounting, tax and finance.
