• Summary

     

    I would like to describe myself as somebody who takes action with courage based on an optimistic and positive attitude, combined with the necessary self-knowledge and who rarely avoids a fun challenge.

    Close relatives describe me as somebody who sees opportunities where others see threats...

  • Bio

    Carlo was the founder/CEO of United Telecom in Belgium. He is a national of Belgium. As an entrepreneur he has a demonstrated record of managing growth.

    After his accountancy studies, he provided ICT consultancy and software solutions to companies such as Proctor & Gamble, Johnson&Johnson, Ippa bank as well as to the European Union.

    As a co-owner and CEO, Carlo led United Telecom from a turnover of 1M€ in 2001 to some 12M€ in 2007. He pursued a strategy of both successful takeovers and community sales. During this period, Carlo was also investor and board member of Score Sports Marketing with a range of impactful activities in sports.

    As part of the advertising/marketing strategy of United Telecom, he initiated and developed quite some projects in the sports world with Score Sports Marketing :
    - Co-founder of the Beneleague Handball,
    - Right holder of the media and commercial rights for 5 years of the Belgian Championship Motorcross (United Telecom Trophy) with Co-Sponsor recruitment and production of own TV-footage broadcasting on national and European TV.
    - Right holder and organiser of the Belgian team for the Motorcross of Nations with i.a. the organisation of a press conference in the Belgian embassy in Washington and a Belgian VIP booth on the event in the US.
    - Advisor for the Belgian Championship Beach volleyball.
    - Organiser of the UCI bike-trial contest in Knokke.

     

     

    After selling his shares in 2010, Carlo has been the driving force in the development of the JMJ football academy in Kenya. Several JMJ Sports Academy players are currently playing in international leagues, such as Victor Wanyama (UK-Tottenham Hotspur), Johanna Omolo (BE-Cercle Brugge), Anthony Emeka (GR-Halkida AO) and Ayub Masika (CHINA-Beijing Renhe), to name just a few.

     

    Carlo took a stake in TopSportsLab in 2012, which he then lead as managing director. His approach led to a substantial expansion of the company's international network by visiting topteams and participating in conferences worldwide to spread the message of TopSportsLab.

     

    Buying a second division football club in Athens (Greece), FOSTIRAS FC, in 2013 and qualifying the first season for the play-offs for the superleague, followed by a relegation the second season, was an expensive but instructive lesson to realise that partnerships between different cultures require special skills... :-)
