Cyril JANSSEN

Director Member of the Board since 2015

Cyril began his career in the technical event production sector. He joined Can Do SA in 1993, where he quickly became one of the key managing partners and a board member, prior to the sale of the company in 2006 (it is now part of the PRG group).

Cyril has accumulated over 20 years of experience as an independent adviser. A case in point of his commitment to offering insight for growth to entrepreneurs was his time on the Generous Board from 2013 to 2016. His current tenure on the board of the Caring Entrepreneurship Fund (King Baudouin Foundation) stems from that same drive to help businesses maximize their potential. In addition, Cyril is currently a board member of several well-established companies such as Financière Eric Janssen, Financière de Tubize, and of more recent ventures such as B-it and other start-ups.

He also invests in select companies whose common denominator is their focus on improving human health and well-being. A strong advocate of children's welfare, Cyril has chosen for the past 10 years to prioritize initiatives with a strong societal impact and those aimed at making life easier for families.

Cyril Janssen received training at the Solvay and Vlerick Business School.
