À propos de Asier
From overload to alignment. That's what I do for organisations whose portfolios have outgrown their governance.
I'm a Program and Portfolio Manager working with complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Currently leading the digital consular portfolio at the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (visas, passports, elections, and services for Belgian citizens worldwide, across 110+ posts). Politically sensitive, heavily regulated, zero margin for failure.
Where I tend to add the most value: portfolios that lack rhythm, programs stuck between business and IT, governance that exists on paper but not in practice. I bring structure without bureaucracy, and I work close to senior leadership, translating strategy into delivery and delivery into something leadership can actually steer.
What makes my profile less common: PgMP and PMP certified (PgMP holders are roughly 0.1% of certified PMs globally), seven years embedded inside government IT, an engineering background, and active contribution to the discipline as a Judging Committee member for the PMI PMO Global Awards (2025, 2026).
I operate through BerryTree, my advisory practice. Available for program and portfolio leadership missions in regulated, high-stakes environments — public sector, financial services, or any context where the work is real and the stakes are visible.

Expériences
- BerryTreeFounder – Programme & Delivery ConsultantAGENCE & SSIIjanvier 2019 - Aujourd'hui (7 ans et 7 mois)BelgiumEmbedded as Program and Portfolio Manager within the ICT Department of the Belgian Federal Public Service for Foreign Affairs since 2019, leading the digital consular portfolio: visas, passports, elections, and services for Belgian citizens abroad — covering around 15 applications and the project pipeline that supports them.
- Built portfolio governance from the ground up in an organisation without a transversal PMO, introducing steering cadence, prioritisation logic, and executive reporting where none existed.
- Designed and implemented project and change management standards adopted by the ICT department, raising delivery maturity in a context historically positioned as IT support rather than strategic partner.
- Managed the tension between operational continuity and transformation in a portfolio where day-to-day demand absorbs most team capacity — making prioritisation, sequencing, and stakeholder expectation management the core of the role.
- Engaged senior stakeholders up to Director level on risk, scope, and trade-offs, translating ICT capacity into terms business leadership could decide on.
- Prepared large-scale system migrations (including cloud readiness) and contributed to delivery team restructuring to absorb growing demand under flat budget envelopes.
- Designed executive dashboards and SteerCo reporting that became the reference format for portfolio decision-making.
