Hey there, After a succesful career in International business development & sales, I decided to become a (Tech) entrepreneur myself, currently in Explained Reality. During my journey I noticed that the best feedback I received was from peers, so I decided to launch BeTech in 2014, the by and for entrepreneur community which turned into the Belgian Tech movement reaching 7300 members (BelgianTech.com) If you need help on a digital transformation or any go to market & strategic topic, I would be very happy to help. During the years, I built extensive insights and network within startups/scale-ups and corporates ideal to tackle the various challenges you might be facing with. I am available part time to help you grow, pivot or structure your business! If you would be interested in collaborating with BeTech, happy to have a chat about it too. Looking forward to it, --Nicolas
