Gregory CULPIN

BRUSSELS

En résumé

Greg's educational and professional career paths were strongly influenced by his childhood passion for technology and people. He is perfectly bi-lingual French/English and expresses a strong desire to learn and develop the broadest skill-set possible - interpersonal, creative as well as technical.

A strong academic background in both general engineering and computer sciences was complemented by startup initiatives, sporting and music achievements.

His first full-time professional experience was as an ICT consultant, both as an analyst and project manager. This proved an excellent opportunity to develop his soft skills and discover a new sensitivity to people management issues.

He subsequently joined a start-up venture Knowledge Plaza porting "Web 2.0" technologies to answer enterprise knowledge management and market intelligence needs. This opportunity developed his broader understanding of innovation and market challenges, while developing his evangelization and business development skills through the successful acquisition of major clients.

He is currently also in the process of finishing a 2-year executive management in business administration course at the Solvay Business School.
