20 years of experience
and never a minute of boredom!
“ There is never a dull day! ” is certainly the expression that best embodies
the communication profession and my own experience.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of holding strategic, managerial and operational roles in large Belgian and international companies, as well as in smaller organisations such as associations and federations.
These diverse experiences have forged my ability to interact with various stakeholders within organisations and to practice different aspects of my profession, allowing me to offer a broad range of expertise.
A range of expertise at your service
As a communications expert,
I developed and implemented, solo or in a team, integrated communication plans for internal and external audiences.
As spokesperson and head of institutional affairs,
I have built a strong media network, given more than 800 interviews and coached numerous leaders for public and press engagements.
have also developed solid experience in European public affairs, closely following key policy developments from Belgium, coordinating internal positioning on strategic EU topics, and supporting advocacy and political communication with institutional stakeholders.
This dual expertise, at the crossroads of media relations, reputation management and public affairs, has enabled me to strengthen visibility and trust, and to defend strategic interests on sensitive issues, including during complex situations and crises.
Finally, with environmental and social priorities always at the core of my work, I have contributed to numerous sustainability-related initiatives.
As a Public Relations specialist,
I have organised events in Belgium and abroad, including press trips and conferences, seminars, factory inaugurations, product presentations, and participation in trade shows.
I have created numerous pieces of content to support communication efforts (speeches, press releases, web articles, newsletters, social media posts, policy memos, videos) and analysed the impact of these communication actions.
And also...
I am a native French speaker and I am fluent in English and Spanish. I also have advanced skills in Dutch.
“My clients can rely on my critical and strategic mindset to guide their thinking beyond their usual context and to create new opportunities to gain visibility.”
- Florence Maniquet -
An engaging and committed personality!
Enthusiastic and highly sociable
I have a knack for putting people at ease and understanding the expectations of various parties. My clients can rely on my critical and strategic mindset to guide their thinking beyond their usual context and create new opportunities to gain visibility. No corporate jargon with me, just clear objectives and a structured, results-oriented approach.
Passionate about my work and the interests I defend
I am fully involved to my assignments. My ethics and my rigour have made me a credible personality in the media and a solid ally of my employers and clients.
Building trusting relationships
I love to collaborate with diverse teams, bringing a good dose of energy and creativity… always with a touch of humour! I value honesty, dialogue and kindness and expect the same from my interlocutors.
On a more personal note...
I am an unapologetic epicurean with a deep love for food, culture and information. Anything related to the pleasures of the table delights me. On a daily basis, you'll find me organising a dinner, trying out a new restaurant, or simply enjoying a good time with my loved ones over a drink. I keep myself informed and inspired by reading international news, and I enjoy literary and cinematic fiction, concerts, and exhibitions. To clear my mind and set challenges for myself, I run several times a week in nature… and I'm already planning my next trips!
