Gitte Van Hasselt

At EY Studio+, we shape tomorrow's businesses today. I have guided EY clients in navigating and creating innovative products, services, and business models that drive sustainable growth and ensure long-term success. EY's acquisition of over 2,000 innovators across 20+ countries has created a global network of design and engineering studios, amplifying the capacity to deliver transformative solutions.

Some projects:

-Corporate Venture entity for Vandemoortele to invest in Biotech startups/scale-ups : from strategy to pilot

-Magnifield Venture launch for Beaulieu International Group to US Solar Market

-Strategic roadmap for the Future of Chocolate for global fat leader

-Innovation Advisory Board for SNCB

Through my own firm VOLVOX I operate rather than advise: I move from strategy into execution, building business models, validating them with real customers, and taking them to market.

I work as a one-woman venture team, amplified by AI. By building AI tools into every step, from research and validation to prototyping and go-to-market, I deliver the speed and output of a full venture squad, with senior judgement steering every call. You get the pace of a team and the accountability of a single owner.

Three ways I typically work with corporates, scale-ups and investors:

• Innovation Scan to surface and prioritise growth opportunities

• Venture Sprint to design and validate a new business

• Innovation Co-pilot to build and launch, hands-on

Currently open to selected freelance and venture-building projects. If you have a growth ambition that needs both strategic clarity and real execution, send me a message.
