Gert became a civil engineer-architect at KULeuven in 2000. In 2005, he became BB'er where he has been financial director since 2018. Besides being a project architect, Gert is also part of Team Lowie.
Gert somewhat likes to play to his BB capabilities in the collaborations he enters into with design teams. Besides loads or technical knowledge and organisational acumen, he also deploys his bone-in-the-concrete wit to strengthen teams. He wears that same down-to-earth hat when leading BB through financially healthy waters. If this allows him to free up euror space for innovation or initiatives with added social value, it awakens a campfire pure bard in him.
