In 1991 I co-founded Ex Machina, we started litterally in a garage. In 2001 we were 15 people and Ex Machina merged with Emalaya and became Emakina, strong of 35 people.

In 2006 we were 80 people and we raised €8.5M at our IPO on Alternext (ticker ALEMK).

Between 2007 and 2021 we grew organically and acquired Design is Dead (Antwerpen), Suntzu (Rotterdam), groupeReflect (Paris, Limoges), The Reference (Ghent), Label.ch (Geneva), Merge Media (Den Hague), Relephant.NL (Amsterdam), Toy (Paris), Troy (Brussels), Diamond Dogs (Vienna), Dempsey (Stockholm), DBG (Stockholm), k-section (Vienna), Karbyn (New-York), WittyCommerce (Istanbul), Predictes (Poznan), CloudWorks (Dubai).

We opened Emakina.EU (Institutional Com.), Emakina Media, Emakina/Insights (Brussels), Emakina/Influx (Paris), Emakina/Commerce (Stockholm), CloudCrazy (Izmir), Emakina.RS (Novi Sad). We also opened offices in Europe and Asia : Emakina.HR (Zagreb), Emakina.TR (Izmir), Emakina.AE (Dubaï), Emakina.US (NYC), Emakina.UK (London), Emakina.SA (Riyad), Emakina.QA (Doha), Emakina.IN (Pune), Emakina.LB (Beyrouth) and Emakina.ZA (Cape Town).

In 2021 Emakina reached €100M turnover, had offices in +20 countries and +1000 people.

In October EPAM System acquired all shares of Emakina Group.

In 2023 I launched a new venture, Zoetrope.be.
