En résumé

Né Bruxelles (Ixelles), fils de commerçant.

Après un an de vie sur la route, à nouveau en magasin chez H&M comme Floormanager et puis en projet afin de recruter et former les nouveaux collabarateurs pour les 10 magasins à ouvrir.
En juin 1996 je rentre chez Castorama ou je vais passer du magasin vers la centrale en Belgique, puis le Nord de la France, en suite le siège à Templemars pour participer (en suite manager) le projet synergie d'achat suite à la fusion entre B&Q et Castorama.
En 2002 je pilote le projet des reduction des coûts d'achats pour Castorama France.
En 2003 je deviens Directeur de Produits Jardin/Végétaux.
Je quitte Castorama en novembre 2005 pour rejoindre le projet de Mr. J.P. Torck et sa famille (fondateur de Camaeui) qui viennent de racheter Delbard.
Je dirige la filiale du Benelux du groupe Scotts de juin 2008 à novembre 2011.
En décembre 2009 nous avons ouvert une boutique à Destelbergen sous le nom Paradisi et une activité d'importation de vin d'Afrique du Sud.
