Hello!
Hi, I’m Anne.
I’ve always been curious about how organizations really work - not how they’re supposed to work on paper, but how things actually get done day to day. What creates (business) value, what slows people down, and why some changes stick while others quietly fail.
My career grew very organically from that curiosity. I built the foundation of my professional journey through my studies-first, by earning a degree in applied economics at the University of Antwerp, and then by completing a 3 Continent Master in Global Management. These experiences not only broadened my perspective but also sparked my fascination with how companies create value and sustain it in different contexts. I started out in digital transformation, not because it was trendy, but because I was immersed in it. I spent nine years working in our family business, where every improvement had to make sense in real life. Efficiency and productivity weren’t abstract concepts - they determined whether the business moved forward or stood still. You learn quickly to focus on what truly adds value.
Later, I moved into a corporate environment. Different scale, different dynamics, different constraints - but the same underlying question followed me: how do we design systems, processes, and ways of working that actually help people do better work?
Today, I find myself at another turning point.
With the rise of Agentic AI, I feel both excitement and healthy discomfort. The opportunities are huge, but so are the questions it raises. AI isn’t just another tool you plug into existing processes. It challenges how work is structured, how decisions are made, what leadership looks like, and what we expect from knowledge workers.
That’s the space I’m drawn to.
I’m naturally analytical, but I think best when I can zoom out and look at the bigger picture. I love connecting dots, questioning assumptions, and thinking beyond the obvious solution. I’m energized by complexity - especially when there’s no clear playbook yet and you have to combine structure with creativity.
Through this blog, I’m exploring what it means to build AI-first, frontier organizations:
- how processes need to be redesigned when humans and AI agents work together
- how operating models and roles are shifting
- what leaders need to unlearn - and relearn
- and how we can use AI to create value without losing the human side of work
This isn’t a blog about AI hype or shiny tools. It’s a space where I think out loud about the future of work, share reflections from my own journey, and explore how organizations can move forward in a thoughtful, grounded way.
If you’re curious about AI, operating models, and the messy reality of transformation - you’re very welcome here.
