WHO AM I?

  • Municipal Councilor since 2000

  • President of the Finance Commission ("Support")

  • Member of the Police Council.

    I have lived in the Bel Air neighbourhood since 1990, where my three children grew up, to the great happiness of the family.

  • I am retired, having spent my entire career in the financial sector, first in international banks, and then in a Belgian IT company.

  • I share my leisure time between reading, cultural visits, travel and political activities.


My Motivations

My motivation is service to the inhabitants, listening to them. I aim to be a point of contact for the inhabitants of the municipality. My vision is that the elected municipal official is the link between the citizen and the administration: on the one hand to hear the requests and on the other hand to explain the administrative constraints. Many questions from residents relate to the rules and monitoring of urban planning permits. Thanks to the function of municipal councilor, one has the opportunity, during commission meetings, to ask directly essential questions to the administration on concrete projects and on the interpretation of municipal regulations.

My Priorities

Quality of life, beautification of our environment (layout of road roundabouts, installation of flower baskets on the main avenues and in the municipal parks). Maintain a sound and balanced financial management of the municipal accounts (resort to citizen participation rather than costly external advice).

My observation: computer science and the internet cannot replace personal relationships and therefore with any administration whatsoever. Elected officials must create moments of meeting and availability for the inhabitants. These are a few essential ideas that I more than ever want to make concrete.


Together for the common good.
