Kristoffel in a few words
I am looking for PROJECTS that are VITAL AND CRUCIAL, BUT NOT URGENT for the future of company. Many projects remain on hold because management does not have the time nor the resources to pursue, research or develop them.
A few examples of work I have done in the past:
- Market research for the geographical expansion of a Fitness Chain
- Research of possibilities of implementing RFID for a Fashion Company
- Consolidation of Purchasing Strategy and Renegotiation of Supply Contracts for a Natural Stone company.

I am a BUSINESS GENERALIST with a strong CREATIVE personality with the unusual combination of being ANALYTICALLY & NUMERICALLY SKILLED.

BOARD-LEVEL EXPERIENCE:
- Board member LACO NV, an IT Consultancy
- Board member SPES VZW, a charity

Currently I run my own steel agency representing CARGILL METALS, LAMINOIRS DES LANDES and EUSIDER TRADING SA.
