Following almost ten years of career in the audiovisual industry, I am actually Project Manager throughout Europe for PSAV Presentation Services the largest AV company in the world. I'm also Event Technology Manager for PSAV at the Hilton Cannes in southern France. In charge of audiovisual sales & operations for the hotel.
Before that I spent most of my time in Belgium working nationally or internationally as Audio engineer & Technical Supervisor for various live production companies, fulfilling nearly all the major tasks necessary to the good operations of an AV company. Progressing throught my career, from audio & lighting technician and flight-case fabrication; up to Audio engineering, Production management and Technical coordination for major events, AV companies and direct clients.
Continuously in search of knowledge upgrade, I've constantly been reading and self-learning but also assisted to numerous trainings and inductions provided by suppliers and completed the ICIA Infocomm "CTS" certification course.
