À propos de Johan

I can bring regulatory expertise, with strong EU focus, to your team: I have been a Belgian diplomat for 10 years, of which 5 years at the EU
I combine this with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and drive: as a founder of an insect start-up, I went from idea to acquisition in 6 years.
I have operated at the crossroads between waste management, farming, livestock feed and pet food, as well as biotech and biopharma: I co-founded a biotech start-up that genetically modified insects to express human insulin
I can consult you and strengthen your team in the thematic areas of sustainability, alternative proteins, and insects in particular, as well as the horizontals of startup funding, grant writing, innovation management and business development.
