Time flies, as it’s already been five years since I started working at Konato.
During this period, I’ve had the opportunity to manage projects for various clients such as UCB Pharma, Digipolis, the Brussels-Capital Region, the Flemish Government.

What I love about project management is that I’m able to interact with both the business side and the technical experts to achieve projects as one team. I get to meet many different people with diverse skills, experiences, and personalities.

My colleagues would probably describe me as collegial, social, and someone they can rely on if needed, someone who values the competencies of team members and is a good listener. What energizes me at work are energetic team colleagues who are willing to collaborate and share the same goals. A good team spirit, with attention to transparency and openness is crucial.

My career as a project manager started coincidentally over 22 years ago at Brussels Airport. As an analyst, I was asked to coordinate the Y2K project and later to manage the implementation of new display technology in the then-under-construction new terminal.

It was a significant challenge to handle such large and ambitious projects without much knowledge, experience, or specific training.

Currently, I am working on various IT projects for the Flemish Government, particularly for the Flemish Tax Service (Vlabel). These include managing a Jira Cloud migration, implementing Jira Tempo Timesheet and Tempo Planner, a project on sending certain types of letters via Speos’ Easy2Mail solution instead of through the internal Mailroom, integrating the Real Estate Transactions service and the Valuation and Appraisal Department, and adjusting the systems for the new categories in the Automatic Relaxation Devices (AOT) effective from 01/01/23.

What I enjoy about working for a company like Konato is that I’m able to be part of a great team with dynamic people. Occasionally getting together for a chat and a drink helps to maintain contact with colleagues and meet new ones. The annual team weekend is always something to look forward to. At Konato, you have the opportunity to attend training and courses to further expand your knowledge and obtain additional certifications.

Input and personal suggestions and ideas are always appreciated.

Thank you Bart for this testimonial and your engagement in the team.
Happy to have you on board!
