Our Services
True value is released when we dare to transform.
At upquest, we think of transformation as a combination of levers, with any of these that can independently be activated from oneanother according to the complexity of the project.
Besides managing these change levers, we believe that strong project management skills are essential to successful in-depth transformation. We have a number of large-scale cross-border transformations under our belt both as in-house and external experts, and are comfortable with complex environments.
We make the difference by keeping a down-to-earth approach in everything we’re doing.

Our Story
Founded in Belgium by management consultants and senior executives from financial institutions across Europe, UpQuest could see the opportunity to create a new story of working with clients through a difference lense. ‘UpQuest’ was inspired by a new way of thinking, an ambition to support and partner with businesses to help unlock their value and expand their capabilities and capacities. Too often in todays challenging environment, future ‘value’ is not placed at the core of business processes and UpQuest with its unique team of multi-cultural and multi-lingual consultlants has gradually built an international client base focussing on this question of value and sustainable value – from transforming the way in which people see their potential to looking at data, process, digital and all the other areas of the business spectrum. Businesses need to constantly transform, adapt and understand their value….Make UpQuest your partner to help and support you and your future value creation.

I have a unique experience as program manager of large scale, strategic digital programs within the Belgian banking sector. I’m at ease to oversee a broad portfolio of projects in all its aspects by combining very strong methodological skills with an excellent hands-on approach. In short, delivery is in my DNA.
My passion for technology drove me in recent years towards senior roles in the field of digital transformation and innovation.
As an avid sport passionate, I regularly ride the steep mountain climbs of the Tour de France on my bicycle and, during the winter, you’ll find me enjoying alpine and backcountry skiing. I also find great inspiration in regular family-trips around the world. Friends are equally important for my work-life balance and I never miss a wine-tasting session or good restaurant with them.
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." Michael Jordan
When I am not spending precious time with my wife and three children, and travelling back to France or Ireland to visit our family, I take great pleasure from outdoor trail running and hiking. Just enough sport and marathon so that I can also very much enjoy good food and wine in good company!
I m a great believer in the power of teams… “Great things in business are never done by one person, they re doneby a team of people” - Steve Jobs
“Never measure the height of a mountain until you reach the top. Then you will see how low it was.” - Dag Hammerskjold
After 20 years spent in IT & Business transformation on 4 out of the 5 continents, I have observed that Change will not happen by motto hanging on the wall of your company. Change can only progressively percolate through your organization when you mightily shake ideas and action in a well prepared mutation-friendly environment. Managing with agile mind-set will immensely speed it up but it is not enough. To be attuned with the challenge of the 21st century, transformation must reconcile business competitiveness and value created for the community.
I am specialized in data lake implementation whether it is on premise or cloud. I like SQL and loves to code with Scala and C#. With my expertise in the insurance domain, I am helping clients to gain maximum ROI on their data strategy.
Equipped with a well-rounded experience in advisory and strategy consulting, I support organisations and leaders to shape their vision, steer initiatives and reach their goals in an ever-changing environment. Effective team player, I engage and lead with care, believing that make people grow is key to initiate long-lasting impacts and create value.
This has given me perspectives that enable me to combine a wide scope of conceptual challenges with hands on work in complex organizations. I love to work in a good team that bring ideas to implementation.
Next to work I enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids, and with other great friends & family. I love to travel, to be on the water(side) and to ride mountain bike trails.
I am passionate about “learning how to learn” at large: supporting education for all ages, optimizing business change management and transformations, defining optimal business strategies, reaching ambitious sports performance , and living happily.
I have supported teams on their transformation on Cloud and Big Data from traditional Datastores and Data Warehouses to Hadoop/cloud and Cassandra Data Lake. Expert in setting up Enterprise Data ingestion layer using Confluent and Apache Kafka.
