Following a successful career at Johnson Controls Packaging in Brecht, Belgium, he co-founded LuxPET SA, a world-class manufacturing company in PET packaging and recycling-based in Luxembourg.

Through all these experiences, Marc has amassed a wealth of hands-on expertise in managing across cultures on an executive level.
Because culture ranks among the strongest influences on human behaviour, he is passionate about using intercultural management and organisational culture as management tools to help optimise the performance of organisations. Marc became associate partner of The Culture Factor Group in 2014 and founded The Culture Factor Belux in 2019.
He co-authored the book ‘Negotiate like a local, 7 mindsets to increase your success rate in international business’.
