Principal Performance Management Architect

Kevin holds a Master in Applied Economic Sciences from Ghent University, with a dissertation on the Balanced Scorecard. He has extensive experience as a Business Controller at Randstad, where he performed variance analysis, created management information, and developed several applications using OLAP-based solutions, MS Access, and Oracle Hyperion Essbase. His interest in Business Analytics led him to AR Metallizing, where he implemented cost center and profit center structures and developed a sales reporting solution using Microsoft SQL Server. This passion for analytics prompted him to transition to analytics consulting with element61.

Since joining element61 in 2015, Kevin has made significant contributions through his versatility. Initially working with Microsoft BI technology, he later specialized in Corporate Performance Management (CPM), focusing on CCH Tagetik. He has become an expert in this field, covering domains such as financial consolidation, budgeting, planning, and forecasting, as well as specific topics like supply chain planning, ESG and CCH Tagetik Analytical Information Hub-driven developments.

In 2024, Kevin took a break to recharge and explore new hobbies such as cross-platform application development and hunting. During this period, he also completed studies in Python and Data Science, ensuring he remains up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI. This break not only allowed him to rejuvenate but also to acquire new skills that are highly relevant in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. The continued contact with element61 during this time highlights the positive work environment and mutual enthusiasm for collaboration. Kevin rejoined the CCH Tagetik team on a part-time basis early 2025.
