scte member focus

senior executives helping me, advising me, investing in me to be better and better every day in my professional life. In my view Technetix is like the best kind of academy, where you can learn how to excel in business as well as grow as an individual. I am very proud that Technetix has been in my DNA for over 18 years. What would you tell a young entrant just about to get started in this industry? My advice to a young entrant to the industry is to always think outside the box, be consistent, explore your strengths and don’t give up. Great ideas come from individuals and are shared within a group. Be patient, work smart and hard, read a lot and avoid comfort zones. This will make your dreams come true! What is the best thing about this sector? As the Internet becomes the fourth most important utility in our lives, after air, water and energy there is no doubt that this sector is crucial to the entire world for business, culture, information and living together on one planet. That’s why I am so proud to be a part of it. It is essential for communication, for connectivity. It’s what life is all about. Tell me about your hobbies; I know you’re a clarinet player…. I used to play clarinet for over 15 years, it’s something I have invested in and taken very seriously, including

studies at Conservatorium of Music in Namur, Belgium. Being a musician is amazing, especially when you look at the instruments, they are simple, yet the combinations of musical notes are infinite. To be a good clarinet player, you need to practice a lot and it is a great way to communicate with just a piece of wood, to produce miracle sounds, music uses the right brain to complement the left brain. I hope I will have time to continue playing the clarinet, especially when I celebrate business achievements with our team.

Great ideas come from individuals and shared within a group. Be patient, work smart and hard.

Where can we hear you play?

I will be happy to play at the next SCTE Gala Dinner!

Amazing! What would you like to see the SCTE do next? I believe the SCTE has the potential to extend the values in other regions; we have plans together with the SCTE to explore new countries and transfer the knowledge and experience to young engineers. That to me is what success looks like.
