All good things come to an end. Last year, I informed Jean de Crane of the decision that 2023 would be my last year at Isabel Group and it is now time for me to move on to other challenges 🚀
When Loic, Thibault, Olivier and I founded Ibanity (Isabel Group) in September 2016, we were far from knowing how things would turn out.
One year later, we were acquired by Isabel Group and launched Ponto (Isabel Group). Back then, #PSD2 was in its infancy, and still full of uncertainty and moving parts. Navigating through that has not been easy and although it was very frustrating at times, I’m proud of the value we managed to bring throughout the past years to Isabel Group itself, but also to the FINTECH BELGIUM community and our industry.
With the team we grew at Isabel Group, we’ve always tried to give our best to provide great products, and also valuable content to the surrounding #Fintech communities, either through articles, talks at conferences or when interacting with our customers and partners.
The past years have been a wild ride through uncertainty and complexity, often filled with a lot of doubts. We had to learn along the way the necessary skills to keep moving forward. This would not have been made possible without the help of the incredible people we met and worked with over there at Isabel Group. I am grateful for the opportunity that Jean gave us to continue developing PSD2 products as part of the group more than 6 years ago 🙏
I don’t know what I’ll be doing in the next months or years, these are still blank pages that I will start working on after a few weeks off. The only thing I know is that we will refocus on creating new things with Loic Vigneron and Thibault Poncelet in our joint company Spin42.
Like a wise colleague told me a few days ago: « You can’t write a book without turning pages » 😉
Happy holidays and if you’re up for it, let’s meet in 2024 🤟
