Bio
Willem Craye
As my direct manager, Thomas has proven to be a real people manager. He seeks to involve in decision making, provide support while showing trust or giving freedom to act. His knowledge of marketing communication is outstanding: he knows the rules of the game whether it's B2C, B2B, online or offline or hospitality. Thomas knows how to make a communication department run like a well oiled-machine. Thanks to Thomas, I got the chance to have a steep learning curve and an interesting time at Continental: thank you for that!
