Bio
Gilles De Geyter
High energy, passion and thorough knowledge of the insurance market. Those are some of the key descriptions I can give Kris. I have the pleasure of working with him at the time of writing this. As a person Kris is highly motivated to take on new things and expresses his opinions and vision clearly. As a professional he is a dedicated man that tries to challenge the status quo every single day. Would definitely recommend him!
Sara Pieters 💡 ✏️ 🚀
It has been a pleasure to have Kris as a delegate on one of my inspiration & innovation tours. Kris is a real entrepreneur: very passionate, high energy and ambitious. He is always eager to learn and I would definitely rate him as an early adaptor when talking about new technologies and the possibilities they offer for the future of our planet. He has a very positive attitude towards challenges and has a good sense of empathy.

I got to know Kris a few years ago and it was immediately clear that he had a clear vision in improving certain processes and how they could add value to our collaboration. Kris also has the knowledge of many industries and fields to talk to, either through himself or his qualitative network or his partners/employees. Uniqueness and value creation are his top priorities for his business relations. Working with him is always to the point and with a no-nonsense and cut the crap mentality. He always sees the opportunities in certain industries and if there are problems, he solves them. In short, a pleasure and above all an educational experience to work with. Working with Kris literally gives you energy and pleasure in your collaboration and provides you with new insights.
