We welcome Siebe Gijsels as Policy & Stakeholder Advisor within Becobra’s permanent team.
Siebe holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from Karel de Grote Hogeschool and a master’s degree in international relations and diplomacy from the University of Antwerp. Combining a background in business and economics with policy expertise, he brings a broad perspective and a fresh outlook to Becobra.
In his new role, Siebe will contribute to Becobra’s policy and content-related activities, the representation of our members’ interests and the further development of our sector initiatives.
His responsibilities will include monitoring and analysing legislative, regulatory and market developments and contributing to the preparation of sector positions. In doing so, he will work closely with our members, experts and external stakeholders, including by supporting internal and external consultation platforms. He will also actively contribute to projects and initiatives focusing on knowledge sharing, training and the further development of the sector.
“We are delighted to have Siebe on board. His fresh perspective and multidisciplinary background are a great fit for Becobra, and we look forward to involving him closely in our policy work and our initiatives for members and the sector,” says Valérie Nolens, CEO.
Siebe is looking forward to this new experience: “I look forward to gaining a deeper understanding of the policy issues affecting the insurance brokerage sector and actively contributing to the representation of our members’ interests. During my studies, I became familiar with both Belgian and European legislation and complex policy issues, while also gaining experience through negotiation simulations. I am therefore excited to put this knowledge and these skills into practice at Becobra and continue developing them!”
We look forward to working with Siebe to further build a dynamic Becobra community, serving our members and the sector.
