Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Desmet is an operationally focused engagement manager and servant leader with 9 years of formal experience and a 20+ year track record of driving process, automation and change across EMEA. He combines hands-on technical chops—building Excel and Power BI dashboards that cut manual work by 80% and contributing backend fixes to a FIDO2 .NET library—with pragmatic program leadership such as S/4 HANA rollouts and OCR implementations (OpenText, Esker). Known for steady crisis and change management, he translates messy operational problems into scalable solutions while coaching teams to adopt new tools and ways of working. Based in the Ghent metropolitan area, he pairs a background in applied informatics and social sciences to bridge people, process and technology effectively. One less obvious strength: he routinely converts small tooling improvements into measurable time savings and cross-regional impact, not just local wins.
