ENHANCE INNOVATION IN DIGITAL FINANCE

To support startups and scale-ups active in bringing transparency and innovation in our industry, we focus on three missions:

• To be a platform for dialogue with regulators and other parties. • To actively and tangibly promote the FinTech sector in Belgium and Belgian FinTech’s abroad. • To share the experience, knowledge and information within and outside the community.

Our Team:

On May 2nd 2016, Fintech Belgium officially became a non-profit organisation grown from the spirit “by fintechers, for fintechers”. The team includes 11 board members, with Jean-Louis Van Houwe as chairman, Patricia Boydens as VP and ambassador for our vertical Insurtech Belgium, Pieter Lambrechts as treasurer, Joan Carette as secretary, JeanFrançois Heering as ambassador for our vertical Regtech Belgium, Bjorn Cumps, Toon Vanagt, Xavier Corman, Béatrice de Mahieu, Johannes Vermeire and Marc Toledo. The board of directors supports the association with their time, representing the members and association when talking to regulators and other stakeholders, reviewing the membership applications and giving advice on the different activities. The operational team consists in Alessandra Guion CEO, Regina Piffarerio admin queen and mother of all members, Ioana Duca events manager, and part-time Xavier Corman as content manager and representative at the EDFA. This team of dedicated employees manages all the events, memberships, partnerships and administration of the association supported by occasional trainees for FinTech Belgium’s communication and our annual summit.
