Startup Enabler & Angel Investor. In 2011 I co-founded Cardwise that later became Xpenditure NV an innovative product for managing expenses. Which was acquired by Sodexo Group (EURONEXT:SDXOF) in March 2017 after a very succesfull growth phase with more then 6000 customers globally (eg. Deloitte, Henkel, PWC,....) Reinvested partly in the newventure with Sodexo & iAlbatros. We launched this new corp-up venture in June 2018 under the name of RYDOO and I'm acting COO and board member.. Next to that I'm also investing in promising early stage startups with Tumbzup bvba.In the early 90ies I've been involved in commercialisation of the first Internet solutions.
