"What is your superpower?" 🦸♀️
At first, I wasn’t sure how to answer this question – I didn’t even know if I had one. But after listening to those around me, I realized that I do have something unique to offer. That’s why I decided to take a leap and submit my candidacy for CMO of the Year. 🤞
Here’s how I now answer that question:
"I believe my superpower as a CMO lies in balancing strategic thinking with empathy, demonstrating that performance and well-being are not mutually exclusive.
I strive to find the right equilibrium between delivering short-term results and investing in long-term growth, with the consumer always at the heart of every decision. At the same time, I am fully committed to managing my team’s well-being—fostering solidarity, and building respect within the team and with our partners. This combination of strategic insight and genuine care for people strengthens our collective resilience.
By leading with purpose and adaptability, I hope to inspire others to see that success and well-being can go hand in hand. My superpower also lies in helping others discover their own, nurturing talents to build a stronger, more human-centered workplace. Through promoting sustainable practices and meaningful innovation, I aim to influence not just how we work, but how we place people at the center and drive positive change within my organization and across the industry." 🌱✨
I deeply believe that sense, conscience, and performance can align to create real value. It’s possible to deliver impactful results without sacrificing integrity or well-being, and this principle continues to guide me every day.
I also want to express my gratitude to Serviceplan Group Belux for providing the space to reflect at this key moment in my career. For me, it’s not just about making a greater impact—it’s about making the right impact, no matter the scale.
Finally, I’d like to send a heartfelt thank you to the other nominees Caroline Baume, Florence Muls (She/Her),Valerie Morfitis and Andy van Hassel. Your stories are incredibly inspiring, and I wish you all the best of luck. 🍀We have so much to learn from one another, and I look forward to growing together throughout this journey. 🚀
