Rune Van der Maelen

Junior Consultant

I am a social and ambitious team player, driven by the desire to create meaningful impact in everything I do. I thrive in dynamic environments where collaboration, initiative and continuous learning are encouraged. Highly curious and analytical by nature, I gain energy from tackling complex marketing challenges and translating insights into tangible, value-driven solutions. With a strong sense of responsibility and an entrepreneurial mindset, I enjoy contributing to shared goals.​  

A mind is like a parachute, it doesn’t work when it’s not open.
