Hello, don't judge too quickly, but I'm working “at HR” 

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Louis Bockaert,  I have been working at Shared Services for the last +/- 3,5 years in an external and internal HR role.

I started as an external consultant in November ’19, and as of January 2021, A.C. is my employer.

I’m an HR Consultant with a focus on B.C.-workers at Industrial Air.

I’m 31 years old and I live in Aalter (East-Flanders), I went to school in Ghent and Brussels.

I know the way to A.C. , but that's pretty much the only thing I know in Antwerp (Antwerp is a black hole for me 😊 ), but I'm willing to do something about it.

I often go to the coast (+/- 35 mins away), even and mostly outside holiday periods.

I also meet up with friends in Ghent or Bruges, and I play tennis for fun in spring and summer.

A few years ago, I subscribed to the local music school. I play the oboe (also just for fun), and, maybe in a few years I can play in a group (but right now I'm too bad).

If I want to improve, I need to practice more during the week.

If you want to see me, there is a picture of me on HR Link (shortcut to HR link on your Dots page).
Gr, Louis

Hi everyone,

My name is Sylvie and I started working at Atlas Copco Airpower a few months ago as a Business Analyst and VAT specialist at Corporate level. I have been warmly welcomed by my colleagues from the start and it already feels like these past months have flown by.

In my free time, I enjoy working out as well as going out for dinner or drinks with friends in Antwerp city where I live. Next to that, I often go to the "Kempen" where my family lives to spend some time with them and enjoy nature.

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Hi everyone,

I am Daan Claes. I have been working at Atlas Copco for about 2,5 years now as a project engineer, part of the CTV engineering team (industrial air) surrounded by many wonderful and supporting colleagues.

I try to keep a balance between work and private life. When I'm not working for AC you can most likely find me coaching or working for my gymnastics league team, where me and my coaching team try to push our gymnasts' mental and physical limits to reach their full potential and prepare them for their participation in national competitions.

And if I am not there, I spend as much time as possible with family and friends, or help out where I can (like babysitting my two adorable nieces every week or teach my grandfather the basics of technology).

Looking forward to meeting you all, see you soon!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Hans Meeus, 30yrs old and I’ve been working at Airtec for the last 3.5yrs as a Technology Engineer in the Noise, Vibrations and Machine dynamics team. Almost a year ago me and my girlfriend finally moved to our self-build home in Emblem. Now, as the saying goes: first a home, then a garden and eventually a baby. Let’s say we skipped the garden part and are impatiently waiting to meet our baby girl in the next couple of weeks.

When I’m not finetuning some things in our home, you can find me playing Padel from time to time. Still, I’m always up for any kind of sports in my spare time!

I’m really looking forward to meeting you all and to start this training program!

Hello everyone, my name is Stefan Brys, I am 46 years old and live with my girlfriend and our beautiful daughter in cozy Schoten. I started working for my first employer, Atlas Copco, in 1995. After a few passages at AC and other employers, I finally got a permanent appointment in 1999. I am currently a Manufacturing Engineer at Oil-free Air, more specifically EngineeredSolutions. Apart from my family and Atlas Copco, I am also sporty, I have been playing badminton for years and since last year I have been trying to practice my old love of windsurfing again. Dancing also makes me incredibly happy and I can put everything behind me for a while.
I look forward to meeting you all and experiencing this training with you. See you soon!

Hello Everyone!

I am Maikel and I have been working as an SQA engineer at Portable Air for about 1,5 years now. Currently, I am living in Heusden-Zolder (so nowhere near Antwerp ), which i actually like due to the calmness and abundance of nature nearby.

Besides work I like to spend time in nature (walking, biking...) in Belgium, but i also like travelling and exploring new places a lot.
Also in my personal life, technology plays a role, i like to define myself as a maker (especially 3D printing and electronics) and working on cars from time to time is a part of that.
During the time that still rests, you have a high chance to find me in a restaurant or taking some drinks with friends.

Looking forward to the training and meeting you all!

Hi everyone!

My name is Arne, I'm a Proposal and Contract Engineer at StandardPlus (Specials) at Oil Free.

As the picture above might show, I like being active and love the outdoors. I enjoy sports of all sorts and I'm always planning the next trip. Traveling is how I'll spend most of my free time.

During the weekends, you'll also find me often in a bar or at a dinner party in Antwerp or elsewhere. I love meeting friends or making new ones!

I'm also looking forward to meeting you guys and starting this journey with you all. See you soon!

Hello, I am Ruben, 32years old and started working for atlas copco november 2019. My job here is electrical senior designer. I have a son of 2years old, in september he will be going to school! exciting! Becoming a father changes you in many ways. For me i became less "selfish" and even more a family person. One of my interests are making sourdough bread (by hand), its such a technical journey and tough to master. One of my goals is to master the baguette, because the smell, taste and texture is such a powerfull expirience filled with memmories of the past when visiting my grandparents in the south of France in the summer. Currently im doing Brazilian jiu jitsu at the exit jiu jitsu club in Antwerp, lets say i started this month again since 6years ago.

Hi all,
My name is Adriaan Coosemans. I'm 36 and I joined Atlas Copco only half a year ago as Portfolio Manager in PT-IT. Before that I lived and worked in Kortrijk. My passion lies with gymnastics, specifically in trampoline gymnastics. I was coaching for the last 10 years up to national elite.
Last summer I moved to Brussels and started working at Atlas Copco. So I have plenty of new things to discover and new people to get to know. Looking forward to this track as well!

Hi everyone,

My name is Pieterjan Declercq and working now 4 years at Airtec as a Technology Engineer for the development of new oil-free screw compressor elements. After living for 3 years in the city center of Antwerp, my wife and I moved one year ago to Brasschaat (nord of Antwerp). Currently we are expecting our first child which is very exciting.

Besides enjoying the technical and other challenges at work, I like to spend time outdoors for hiking, running and cycling. Apart from outdoor activities, I like to read non-fiction books and explore the world of wines. In order to advance in the latter, I am taking wine education courses. Organizing diners for friends and family with tasty foods and good wines is also one of my favorite activities.

Looking forward to meet you all and start the NDP36 journey!

Dag iedereen,

Ik ben Tom en bijna anderhalf jaar aan het werk bij Atlas Copco als methode-ingenieur  bij Portable Air.

Ik woon al mijn leven lang in het prachtige ‘Boechout mijn land’, met oa het beste café in de omstreken. Uiteraard heb ik het dan over 'de Kali', of beter gekend als 'Kalifornia' door Bart Peeters. Soms ben ik daar te vinden met vrienden, en als we het 'beu' zijn gaan we poolen in het café dat er naast staat. Goed ben ik er niet in, maar meedoen is belangrijker dan winnen.

Wanneer ik in een sportieve bui ben, kan je mij zien afzien langs de jaagpaden op mijn koersfiets.
Daarnaast ben ik fan van autorijden waardoor ik regelmatig boven, onder en in mijn auto ben te vinden.

Ik kijk er alvast naar uit om jullie te ontmoeten, en aan deze opleiding te beginnen. Tot binnenkort!

Hello everyone!

I am Hannelore and have been working as a purchaser at Atlas Copco Industrial Air for 3 years now. I live in Antwerp where I enjoy to get out for drinks or dinner with friends regularly. Since I was young, I have  been a member at the Sea scouts where I developed a passion for sailing. There is nothing that a sunset out on the water can beat! Besides that I like to fill my weekends with planning city trips or the occasional nature getaway.

I look forward to meeting you all. See you soon!

Hello everyone!

I'm Laura and have been working in CTS purchasing a little over 2 years now. I live in Antwerp, but as the picture suggests I enjoy a nature getaway too. In my free time I like to travel and discover new places, preferably places that are filled with nature where you can do challenging hikes that bring the best views! Further, I like to spend my time in an active way and sports such as squash, padel and running are always part of my weekly schedule.

I am very keen on meeting you all and to engage in this training together, see you soon!

Ik ben Quinten. Naast AC spendeer ik mijn tijd graag buiten door te wandelen, fietsen, moto- en autorijden, in de tuin of garage te "werken". Om men hoofd leeg te maken of met gezelschap naar een fijne plek te gaan en iets te drinken, eten, een fijne tijd te hebben. Afgelopen jaar zijn mijn vrouw en ik getrouwd, hebben we een huisje gekocht en opgefrist in Zemst en zijn we trotse ouders geworden van ons eerste zoontje (nu 1 maand oud) :)
Ondertussen ben ik bijna 5 jaar ontwerper op Portable. Tijd voor wat extra evolutie. Daarom ontmoet ik jullie allen graag in deze hopelijk interessante opleiding. Tot binnenkort!

hey,
Ik ben Leen en vind het wel wat spannend deze nieuwe uitdaging. Iets anders dan wat er dagdagelijks op het programma staat als Technology Eng. in het FDA team (assembly & coating team) - Bshop.
Sinds 4.5y maak ik deel uit van de Atlas Copco familie.
Naast deze drukke bezigheden kan je me al lopend, wandelend, fietsend tegen komen in de ruime omgeving van Waarloos. Buiten komen in de natuur, bos doen altijd deugd.
Benieuwd wat we in deze tocht gaan beleven...

Hi everybody!

I’m Aron and have been working as a Transport Purchaser within Atlas Copco for three years. I live in the city centre of Antwerp so when I’m not working, I love to meet up with friends to eat or drink something there. 😊

Besides that, I play waterpolo and like travelling and going to concerts.

I’m looking forward to starting the program and meeting you all soon!

Hello everybody! My name is Mathijs Vandevelde and I'm very excited to meet all of you.

I live in the (somewhat) center of Antwerp and have been at Atlas Copco for 3,5 years as a process engineer, working in the assembly and coating department at Airtec.

Most of my time outside of work goes to music in both the passive and active sense. I love listening to music and going to concerts, but at the same time also love (trying to) make music myself.
Aside from that I love travelling and generally discovering/experiencing new things.

On that note, I'm super excited to join you all on this NDP journey and am looking forward to find out what we'll learn. See you in a couple of weeks!

Hee Hello! I am Thieme van Geest and I have been working within Atlas Copco for two years, in the role of project engineer. As I started my career as marine engineer and sailed the adventurous seas, I am now mainly focusing on the marine and offshore projects for Atlas Copco. I consider myself as a real engineering enthusiast and I try to combine that with my daily working routines as much as possible!

I am living in The Hague and therefor still nearby my great love, the sea! I like to participate in all kinds of sports, in which learning how to become a reasonable kite surfer will be the aim for next year.

But more importantly, I enjoy meeting new people and so I am very much looking forward to sharing this journey with you all. See you soon!

Hi everyone!
I'm Christophe Kussé, working as Technology engineer Filtration for almost 4 years now (time flies when having fun). As the picture suggests, I enjoy taking a stroll in nature. Besides that I play field hockey, have recently taken up bouldering and when not outside enjoy reading a nice book with my 2 cats (they are a bit camera shy though, unless if it concerns joining online meetings they weren't invited to)
Looking forward to meeting you all!

# data[].attributes.body
Hey hey! I am Hanno Smets and have been with Atlas Copco for 3 years, currently as a global logistics engineer. I live in Vosselaar, with a forest at the end of my street, which is perfect for me as one of my favourite activities is to go hiking during the weekends. My two cats are my home office coworkers. You can see one of them of the picture! :D During weekends I don't go hiking, I like to visit the Saturday market in Antwerp with some friends or spend time with family. I enjoy keeping myself busy.

I am very much looking forward to get to know all of you. See you soon!

Hellokes, my name is Kevin Noiron. I live in Wuustwezel, in the north of Antwerp. Atlas Copco has been my home base for almost 17 years now, of which I have been working as a process engineer for 7 years. Besides Atlas Copco, I have a wonderful family of 2 sons.

For 1 of them, I am trainer of his football team. As you can see from the photo (not the best picture), the focus for me is that children always have fun. When I'm not busy with Atlas Copco or football, I regularly try to visit an escape room with my wife and some friends.

I am looking forward to engaging in this learning program and expanding my network within Atlas Copco.

Hiya! I'm Amy, your NDP programme coordinator. I live in Anzegem, West Flanders and have been with Vlerick Business School for over a year.  I'm looking forward to guiding you through the programme. I have a passion for the English language and culture (and even the weather!). I travel mainly to colder, northern countries (e.g. Norway, UK and Ireland). The picture was also taken in January 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland, in Victoria Street  (the 'Diagon Alley' for Potterheads). If I'm not there, you can spot me running, thrifting or hiking. See you at the kick-off!
