Proximus Jeroen Delvoie

Axel Desmedt graduated from VUB in 1996, before obtaining a Master of Laws from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). After working as a lawyer for a leading Belgian and US law firm, he moved to the public sector in 2009. As a member of the decision-making body of the BIPT, Belgium’s telecoms and postal regulator, he has been setting the regulatory lines in these key economic sectors for the past 13 years. His second (and last) mandate at the BIPT expires soon and he is ranked first to become chair of the Belgian Competition Authority. He is one of the top players in competition law and economic regulation, having made his mark on many important cases in the sector.

He is willing to contribute to the teaching activities of a number of course units. Moreover, as an expert in the field of economic regulation, he has practical experience that will be invaluable for students. His contribution to outreach through chairing the University of Brussels Law & Criminology Alumni association also gives visibility to the law school.
