Elite sport. Full-time career. One performance system.

A Belgian C4 para-cyclist competing internationally while working full-time in international cooperation — and building performance around a body that does not move by the textbook.

A result that validates the work — and raises the bar for 2027.

I won the 2026 Belgian road title in the C4 category, a milestone in a season focused on progressing at international level.

The 2027 objective is clear: turn that domestic result into stronger World Cup performances and keep building towards the World Championships.

The story

Performance is not one-size-fits-all.

Born with severe bilateral clubfeet and after more than twenty surgeries, I race with a highly adapted movement pattern and equipment setup. The challenge is not to ignore those constraints — it is to engineer performance around them.

That mindset shapes everything: custom footwear, bike fit, technique, recovery, nutrition and the way I prepare each race. I am constantly looking for practical solutions that make the whole system faster and more sustainable.

“My project isn’t about overcoming disability. It’s about building performance around it.”

The dual career

High performance doesn’t stop when the laptop opens.

Alongside para-cycling, I work full-time as a Project Manager and Acquisition Coordinator with GIZ International Services, focused mainly on international cooperation projects in Africa.

Sport

Training, racing, equipment, recovery, nutrition and the constant search for marginal gains.

Profession

International projects, partners, experts, tenders, deadlines and decision-making across countries.

Shared skill

Planning under pressure, solving problems quickly and making limited time and resources count.

Partner value

A credible story beyond sport: performance, adaptation, resilience and a demanding professional life.

Audience & content

Small enough to be personal. Relevant enough to travel.

I am not selling mass-reach influencer numbers. The value is a niche, engaged audience following an authentic international para-cycling project and the unusual reality behind it.

  • 22k+ Instagram views over a recent 90-day period
  • 4.5k views on a recent reel about my adapted cycling shoes
  • Real product use, technical stories and race/training context
  • Belgian + international competition and professional network
Partnership opportunities

Useful partnerships first. Logos second.

I am building a small ecosystem of partners that genuinely contributes to performance and the reality of an international season.
