Olivier became Baker Tilly's first-ever CEO in early 2024. As part of his function, he sets up strategic initiatives and is responsible for implementing decisions from the partners' meeting. In addition, as Partner, he manages the Corporate Finance team and heads the international EMEA Corporate Finance community.
Every day I’m working work with a handful of clients all operating in different sectors. I’m in contact with both SME managers and the executives of multinationals or investment funds. This diversity ensures that I can be found early in the office every morning with a smile on my face.
I’m also involved in the national and international expansion of the Baker Tilly Corporate Finance branch. Since mid-2019 I’ve headed the EMEA Corporate Finance Community (Europe, Middle-East & Africa). This is an international role that I’m happy to take on because it creates added value for our customers.
In my spare time I’ll enjoy a barbecue with the family, relatives and friends. And every week I try to make a tour through the Pajottenland by mountain bike.
