During several months I have been working with Lieve, we were building a hospital that has to become the most qualitative and innovative hospital in the eastern hemisphere. It was a joy to work with her as in the difficult situation we were in she acted professional, loyal and collegially. Compared to others she impressed the investors with her knowledge, network and accuracy. The only negative point I can mention is her modesty, she was a silent (and important) force in the background, claiming her position by her professional attitude and never by her European status.

I know Lieve (colleague at SD WORX, HR Service provider for Kluwer) as a very professional, knowledgeable and empathic person that I really liked to work with. The combination of high energy, both theoretical and practical insight, and continuous drive to further learn and self-reflect makes her a realiable partner in HR, staffing and organisational change.

When a department is in change it is important that the right people can work together to guide that change. Moving towards an agile (IT) department, a good relationship with HR was essential. Together with Lieve we worked out the new roles, functions and expectations for all people working in the “software factory”. I enjoyed the interviews and assessments we did together. Lieve often had an other approach than myself, giving me new insights in the HR recruitment process.
