With 2022 coming to an end I look back with great pleasure to our cooperation. With you as moderator for our conference on the common fisheries policy we could deliver on a positive and constructive stakeholder dialogue. Thank you for your professionalism, style, creativity, calm and openness. Hope we have a chance to cooperate again at future occasions. Hartelijk dank! Valérie

Filip moderated our (hybrid) stakeholder event as a master of ceremony on 10 June 2022 organised by the European Commission, DG MARE, with great success! His professional attitude made the organising team (me) relaxed and we had faith in a good outcome with Filip at the steering wheel of the day itself. Filip had great suggestions during the preparatory phase to ensure the event was as much prepared as possible for any likely events or occurrences. He listened to our objective and needs and ensured that the way of moderating was fitting to what we wanted to have within the event (interactive, open mode). Having to collaborate with the core team of technicians, policy makers, and high level people - as well as with the attending group of different stakeholders - shows Filip can switch and adapt swiftly to his audience and to the organising team relating to the needs and actions necessary. Although a very technical topic, fisheries and aquaculture, Filip knew how to make the theme of the day his own and with his enthusiasm and professional attitude contributed to the goal of the event: to hear the stakeholders' view and ensure the participators felt comfortable and interactive enough to state their minds. It was truly a pleasure working with Filip and I would recommend him for any other event as master of ceremony without a doubt.
