ALICE IN WONDERLAND🐰 At the end of 2018, I handed back my permanent appointment to the government I worked for. After 15 years of being a civil servant, I was bumping up against the boundaries of a government organisation and the values of politics. I felt there was more in it, more in my life and more in myself🔥. Moreover, in my role of environmental supervisor, I had seen too many times that it is really not obvious for an entrepreneur to be aware of the hundreds of environmental and safety regulations and that it is even less obvious how to get the necessary knowledge and then implement it on the shop floor. I sensed from everything that there was an avenue to help entrepreneurs get in order with the legislation before they got into trouble. And so I stepped into entrepreneurship overnight, like Alice in Wonderland full of wonder for all the new things I would encounter on my path. BUSINESS, BUSINESS, BUSINESS🚀 In 2019, I founded VDS Environmental Consultancy, an environmental consultancy that helps businesses get environmental permits. After 6 months, I felt an inner restlessness, a craving for more, for the magic outside my comfort zone. I started looking for how to roll out a different business model, scalable, digital, international... This is how Artion was born in 2021, a somewhat atypical SAAS platform for automating legally required environmental and safety inspections of installations in companies. My personal ambition is still to be allowed to experience all that entrepreneurship has to offer and to help others through entrepreneurship and creation. Raising a SAAS startup fulfils that dream, with the occasional curse and tear. MY BELIEFS💡 - If you can dream it, you can achieve it. - If yoy wanna fly like an eagle, don't fuck the chicken. - It's outside your comfort zone where the magic happens.
