Our Background

Geert Van Gijseghem

From a legal background and having been a partner of a lawfirm for over 20 years, I have always been particularly interested in the commercial and management aspects within companies.

I assisted internationally acquisitions, negotiated and closed deals for my clients.

I instructed in Europe and USA leadership courses, communications and people management courses.

In 2014 I took the step to the corporate world as Managing Partner for a group working in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sector and I am responsible for Regulatory, Quality, HR, Legal, IP and risk management.

I lead and organized various international events.

I committed myself to promote our sector by being administrator in our professional Trade Association ( Be-Sup), responsible for RA & Communication.
