Governance, Aligment & Execution

I am a senior freelance Project, Program, PMO & Portfolio professional with over 20 years of experience delivering IT and digital initiatives. My focus is on helping organizations improve delivery predictability by setting up fit-for-purpose governance, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution with strong RAID discipline, dependency management, integrated planning and executive reporting.

I am highly experienced in hybrid delivery environments, effectively running structured stage-gate or waterfall governance while enabling Agile teams with clear scope boundaries, prioritization and delivery cadence. I am comfortable working in regulated and audit-sensitive environments, managing multi-vendor delivery and leading multicultural teams across Belgium and nearshore/offshore locations.
