Erwin De Bock

As an accomplished business transformation leader with over 30 years of experience, I have a proven track record of restructuring and rapid change as an operational executive and board member. My leadership is founded on a pragmatic approach, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a deep-seated belief that people make the difference. I am known for my ability to align teams, cultivate high-performance cultures, and achieve ambitious corporate objectives. My mission is to guide people, teams, and organisations into a stable short-term future.
My approach is that of a hands-on leader who can translate complex visions into a comprehensive language, understandable for everyone. I have worked at a C-level and excel at navigating complex, multicultural B2B environments, and am passionate about implementing sustainable solutions. I have a broad skill set spanning strategy, development, M&A, sourcing, finance, and HR, which allows me to manage and optimise complex projects and processes effectively. I guide companies in the areas of change, process structuring and optimisation, and transformation programs. My passion lies in seizing new opportunities, embracing innovation, and tackling challenges head-on.
I am a sociable, persuasive, and positive thinker, and I enjoy convincing others to join me in a shared story. My ability to act as an empathic listener and coach has enabled me to consistently get the best out of people. The integration and balance of organisation, processes, and systems are core principles in my work, ensuring seamless and effective transformation programs.
Throughout my career, I have held senior management positions at companies like Spie and Veolia, in addition to several roles across various industries. My experience as a die-hard people lover and an experienced coach, speaker, and motivator has been instrumental in my success. I am fluent in English, French, and Dutch, with extensive experience in international, multi-lingual environments.
My belief: ‘people make the difference!’
