What does the BAPP Board look like?

Certainly not like a group of people who all think alike, and that’s exactly the point.

Our differences are what make us stronger. One keeps the big picture in focus, another brings energy and momentum. One analyzes the numbers, another puts people first. Some naturally take the lead in discussions, while others quietly drive projects forward behind the scenes.

It is precisely this complementarity that makes us a strong team.

Meet the people who bring the BAPP to life.

Fabrice – The Calculator Who Always Has an Opinion

If there’s one person who gets straight to the point, it’s Fabrice.

With his background and experience in finance, he has naturally become the BAPP’s numbers expert. Numbers are his playground, but every idea also passes through his analytical lens. He says what he thinks—openly and honestly—because he believes that transparent discussions always lead to better decisions.

Jean – Our Compass

Jean may be the man behind CarryOn, but within the Board, he is above all our point of reference.

His experience, combined with his legendary calm, brings balance to every discussion. His contributions are always thoughtful, relevant, and provide clear direction. And when he speaks… everyone listens.

Ulrick – Building Bridges Beyond Borders

Ulrick prefers working behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight.

With an international mindset, he looks far beyond Belgium’s borders. Convinced that the future lies in European collaboration, he works to strengthen BAPP’s position on the international stage. Quiet by nature, but driven by a clear vision for the future.

Julien – The Captain at the Helm

As President, Julien represents BAPP with conviction.

He brings people together, sets the course for our association, and isn’t afraid to put challenges on the table so we can tackle them together. Because moving forward also means having the courage to look ahead.

Michel – The Pragmatist with a Strong Network

Michel brings a wealth of experience to the Board.
He has a remarkable talent for connecting people, driving projects forward, and building bridges between different perspectives. Thanks to his extensive network and experience in team management, he enriches every discussion with a practical, down-to-earth approach—always with a smile.

Olivier – The Curious Expert

With his expertise in textile printing and team management, Olivier brings a highly practical perspective to our industry.

His curiosity leads him to ask the right questions—the ones that open new perspectives and spark meaningful discussions. Combined with his sense of humor, his outlook encourages us to learn, evolve, and keep pushing forward.

Eva – The Team’s Driving Energy

If there’s one person who gets projects moving, it’s Eva.

Enthusiastic, energetic, and genuinely people-oriented, she naturally creates connections. She inspires, unites, and turns ideas into action. Her positive energy is contagious and makes collaboration feel effortless.

Johan – The Quiet Force on the Ground

Johan is BAPP’s quiet force. A little more in the background, but always present where it matters.

He is the man on the ground: he visits every stand, listens, connects people, and spreads the BAPP word. As a bridge-builder, he brings people closer together and helps keep BAPP visible, approachable, and close to its members.

Sylvie – Commitment with Conviction

Dedicated, meticulous, and detail-oriented, Sylvie likes to fully understand every aspect before forming an opinion.

She analyzes, asks the right questions, and stands by her convictions with honesty—always in a constructive spirit.

And even when she firmly defends her ideas, she does so with a smile that keeps conversations moving forward.

And This Is Only the Beginning.

This Board is not the final destination.

On the contrary—we want to keep growing. With new talent. New expertise. New ideas.

We’re looking for people who are ready to share their experience, take initiative, and believe, as we do, in the power of collaboration.

Because BAPP is not built by one person alone.

We build it together. One bridge at a time. One connection at a time.
