Marc Van kerckhoven will head Human Resources and Marketing & Communication. He has been part of the management committee for seven years and was previously responsible for Employee Benefits. Marc Van kerckhoven: ‘It’s been my ambition for some time to take on the role of HR Director at a healthy company like Vanbreda. I’m excited to have the opportunity to support the vigorous growth of our organisation. As an employer, we attach great importance to creating an environment where talent feels at home and is able to develop further. In addition, we will continue to promote the qualities of this company with strong communication, so that potential customers and new talent carry on beating a path to our door.’

Evelyne Lauwers takes over from Marc Van kerckhoven as Director of Employee Benefits. With an 18-year career at Vanbreda, including four years on the management team, she too is a familiar presence with considerable commercial drive. Evelyne Lauwers: ‘I’m really looking forward to further expanding our role as a strategic partner advising and supporting HR professionals at Belgian employers. Together with my crack team of employee benefits experts, I’m committed to strengthening our position as an advisor, service provider and communications specialist, working closely with the insurance market.’

It is no coincidence that so much talent develops within the company. Pedro Matthynssens: ‘I’m very proud that we have so much talent in-house and are able to encourage its growth in an effective manner. As an employer, we’re investing all the time in recruiting, training and developing our employees. We do our utmost to create opportunities for each individual, so that everyone can reach their full potential. That’s paying off, as is clear again today. These organisational changes mean we’ll now be raising our game even further. Our organisation continues to grow non-stop in terms of both turnover and number of employees, so we’re always looking for new, diverse talent.’
