I’ve been the in-house expert on the Belgian economy at BNP Paribas Fortis since 2015. I steer the bank’s macroeconomic forecasts and have won several international awards for their accuracy. As a pioneer in real-time banking-data analysis, I deliver frequent keynotes on Belgium’s outlook, long-term scenarios, and the tech trends reshaping our world.
In 2023 I published “Gold Rush: The ABC...G of the Digital Economy,” distilling lessons from a handfull of young Flemish entrepreneurs. My second book, “2034, a Novel: Mental Time Travel for Thinkers & Doers” (2025), draws on conversations with more than a hundred academics, entrepreneurs, policymakers and other "forward thinkers", imagining what Belgium can and - more importantly - should look like in 2034. It's a clear invitation to look beyond today’s turbulence and start building the future...today.
