Our team,
their story.
Simon Hanssens is a consultant at POMEX. He shares his story by answering our questions.
Who are you?
I’m a chemical and bio-industry engineer, specialised in molecular and cellular biology. POMEX is my first professional experience after my studies.
Before that, I got involved in several student and community projects. I was vice-president of KapTech, a student project house focused on new technologies, and I joined Vacances Pour Tous, first as a youth leader and then as a board member.
What do you do at POMEX?
I joined POMEX in December 2025 as Digital Data Lead. I work on digitalisation projects that aim to simplify and improve processes, and I also handle Master Data.
I earned my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, which I apply directly to my projects, and I am now developing my project management skills. I also helped develop POMEX’s Lean & Six Sigma maturity assessment tool.
Why did you decide to join POMEX?
What attracted me to POMEX above all was its people-centric approach and how close it stays to its consultants.
I was looking for an environment where I could keep developing my skills, become more autonomous and take part in concrete projects with a real impact in the field.
And outside POMEX?
Sport plays a big part in my daily life. I mainly do running, trail running, cycling and swimming, with a particular interest in triathlon. I like setting myself new challenges and gradually pushing my limits, whether in a race, on a long bike ride or through a new sporting project.
I also love travelling and photography, two passions that help me discover new horizons.
