I first began to understand the impact that each of us have on the planet at around 6 years old, when I became a Boy Scout back in Belgium. From my very first day working at the IE Foundation, I felt a renewed connection to that spirit of creating impact, respect for others and the will to positively change our surroundings.

Choosing the Sustainable Development Goals with which I identify my work, I would say adding together #4 (Quality Education) + #10 (Reduced Inequalities) + #17 (Partnerships for the goals). #31 is my number.

At the core of our institution is access to education and fostering a community of leaders for change: a group of diverse students, alumni, faculty, staff and stakeholders willing to engage in making a better society through their journey at IE.
