Bio
Mélody Robert
How can I summarize Ilse’s millions of talents & interests in just a few sentences? 🙈 She is a natural leader combining strong IQ with exceptional EQ! She always has a keen understanding of people and what drives them, allowing her to always bring out the best in them! She is also an exceptional communicator, with a strong ability to inspire and motivate others. She has a way of connecting with her audience, sharing her enthusiasm & passion and delivering messages that stay with you for long! I’m sure the Proximus e-commerce team members still recall each of her « All Employees Meetings » 🙏🏻 She’s definitely one of a kind 🙌🏻
Peter Van Hende
I've never worked in Ilse's team, but we've worked together on numerous projects. Because of her great strategic vision and trustworthy nature, I started to see her more and more as a coach. On several crossroads in my career I seeked out her advice and coaching. And she never disappointed me even if I sometimes needed to hear the hard truth. She helped me get the most out of myself. I think that's telling for who she is: generous in advice, always human in her communication but also direct if needed. This is why she's a great leader. I'm happy to have Ilse in my network.
