Bio
Vineet Augustine
Roland is one of the most humble and inspiring leaders I have come across in the industry ! I had the opportunity to collaborate with him and got a lot to learn from him ! His experience in strategy, sales and business development , mergers and acquisition is priceless and one of a kind in the industry ! I wish him all the best in all his future endeavours.
Michel Welters
I met Roland at the Be angels federation which I joined a bit more than one year ago. As a coach for new investors, Roland has impressed me by his capacity to coordinate discussions and to search inputs from all participants. He is capable, in subtle way, to share his own insights and views and to influence people. He is patient and supports at easy, especially, young entrepreneurs, who can benefit from his broad managerial experience. I have the pleasure to work directly with Roland in several start-up investments projects.

Reccommendation van Marc Mertens, Executive Vice President PABG (Jan 2018): Ik heb meer dan 15 jaar met Roland gewerkt en in die periode heeft hij verschillende functies senior management functies uitgeoefend in diverse domeinen. Zo was hij actief in aankoop, supply chain, IT, Marketing, Business Develompment en verkoop, telkens in een internationale omgeving. In die context heb ik Roland leren kennen als een zeer gedreven en leergierige allrounder, die in zijn carrière een schat aan ervaring heeft opgebouwd. Verder heeft hij oog voor de toekomst en volgt de nieuwste trends, zoals de digitale transformatie, op de voet. Roland is ook een echte teamspeler die graag zijn kennis en ervaring deelt en zijn teamleden coacht in hun verdere ontwikkeling. Marc Mertens
