My journey started in 2004 at Axen, where I quickly moved from being a .Net developer to a role as a functional analyst. In those days I would often hear the mantra: « Do or undo, it’s still work. ». But for me, that simply wouldn’t cut it: whenever there was a problem, I was determined to get to the bottom of it and see what the best solution might be. I also longed for more human contact.
So I decided to make some changes: I started to read up more widely in my field, including the insights on requirements resourcing I found on http://www.volere.org. I talked with colleagues and I took a number of courses to round things out.
Very early on, I was leading a team of analysts on a complex project. And that’s where I started to pass on my knowledge and skills to others.
During my time at Axen, I also learned a lot about interpersonal relations, motivation at work, conflict resolution, brainstorming, and the Agile way of working and spirit.
At AXA, I was in charge of the business and functional analyst community to guide them towards a common practice based on recognized methods. As such, I participated in many Agile trainings to evaluate the possibilities of a transformation within the IT department.
In parallel, starting in 2013, I also started building up my knowledge and expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM). I mastered the SailPoint tools that had been chosen so I could be more effective as an analyst and take full advantage of what the tool had to offer.
I then moved into consulting so I could bring my expertise in IAM and SailPoint to other organizations.
I joined the National Bank of Belgium at the end of 2019 as a Service Management Analyst, working with ServiceNow.
Alongside my work as an IT Analyst, I’m also an art-therapist. Over the last 3 years or so, I have been expanding and developing these activities, to the point where I launched my own small business in early 2023. This way, I can combine a whole range of activities that are close to my heart.
