Looking ahead, Evelien is excited about the innovations Barco is bringing to the market. “Our products truly make a difference in people’s lives. The shift towards managed services and software solutions is key to maintaining our market position,” she explains. If she could give advice to her younger self, she’d keep it simple: “Enjoy the little moments with colleagues, appreciate the learning curve, and never forget to thank those who helped you along the way.”
For Evelien, pride in Barco comes naturally. “We’re a Belgian company making a global impact, and many people don’t realize how much Barco is a part of their daily lives. That’s something to be proud of.” Evelien’s ability to adapt to different cultures and environments has been a strength throughout her career.
She recalls a memorable moment during her time in Singapore with the APAC sales team.
“No one really said much at first, so I booked a karaoke room. The local team started dressing up, and before I knew it, I was singing my heart out. It was well past midnight when we left, but the next morning, everyone came over, and the ice was broken.” Moments like these have shown Evelien how embracing diverse experiences can help build connections, no matter where she is.
