Twenty-four years’ experience in large scale industrial and project development that started in Welkom South Africa in the Mining Industry. Shifting from mining towards environment I participated for 7 years with the Arcadis Group in the consolidation of the engineering and consulting market focusing on Site Remediation and Environmental Management.

After five years in PPP and real estate development for the French Company Bouygues, focusing on public services infrastructure (Infrastructure, Wastewater, Roads), I joined Desmet in 2005 to tackle their diversification of the EPC contracting arm towards Biofuels / Bioenergy and to launch DS Development to develop projects in Biofuel/REenergy Market.

Returning from two years in LATAM (Argentina) in 2010, I joined Green Invest to address solar and wind investments. Green Invest has built and operates more than 40 MW of renewable projects mainly in Europe but pursuing the geographical diversification towards Latam, Africa and the Middle East. I am also active in the company Plejades Independent Experts to provide strategic management and business/project development support in my areas of expertise that are Renewable Energy, Environment and Infrastructure.
