Geertrui Mieke De Ketelaere

I am an engineer by eduction. Today, I bring over 30 years of real-world experience at the intersection of business, technology and artificial intelligence. I’ve led AI and data-driven transformation initiatives in global tech companies (like Microsoft, IBM, SAP, and SAS Institute), and in senior research & innovation contexts. Today, as Adjunct Professor at Vlerick Business School, I specialise in bridging the gap between technical complexity and business strategy. In all my work, I have a strong commitment to ethics, sustainability and human-centric technology. For the last 5 years, I have been a mentor to different successful tech startups in Europe. What can you expect?
I can help boards and leadership teams navigate strategic plans with a link to AI or digitalisation — not only from a technological perspective, but also from a strategy, governance, value creation, ethics, risk and long-term sustainability perspective. I have always been a strong believer in networking and human skills. The network I can offer currently contains mainly C-levels and decision makers in European companies.
