Geert Roete's Linkedin Analytics

I love being at the intersection of technology and business. Throughout my career, I have navigated both sides - sometimes diving deep into technical aspects, other times leading business strategy. This dual perspective has given me a unique ability to bridge the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders, aligning their priorities and language in a way that even AI would not replicate. I don’t just solve problems - I identify and address the real needs behind them. As an experienced entrepreneur I know how to manage clients, business partners, expectations and how to deliver products and results. Achievements in the past years were signing deals with companies such as L'Oréal (FR, NL, Nordics), P&G, Brussels Airport, Mastercard global, ING, bpost group and others. I handled an investment round, I negotiated subsidies and grants, covering everything from legal to finance. I thrive best in a forward-thinking, innovative environment where things move quickly.
