Bringing expertise and knowledge
Marc Ansoult — Consultant, Managing Director
After studying engineering, Marc started his career at the Environmental Sciences Laboratory of the Catholic University of Louvain. After passing a doctoral thesis, Marc became consultant in 1990 and worked for international organisations such as UN/FAO, the World Bank, and several directorates of the CEC. Marc then participated in ISO 9000 Tick-IT projects and contributed to the development of the GeoManagement Group with Spacebel, Matra and Telinfo. In 1998, Marc joined swITch, the IT affiliate of the Brussels Airport Company, where he developed a first shared content service delivering support to the teams in charge of the operations and development of the airport infrastructures.
Building on the success of these projects, Marc launched the AsBuilt Business Unit in 2000, with clients such as Dexia Bank, Fortis Bank, Alstom Power and Hydro, Fabricom, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals and Solvay. Before creating Exquando late in 2009 with Dara Duong, Marc was leading ECM business development for Fujitsu Services and then for Capgemini.
Dara Duong — Consultant, Managing Director
Following his engineering studies in 1995, Dara worked for different IT projects, across various IT domains and in a variety of IT positions in strong multicultural and international environments. In 2002, Dara joined GlaxoSmithKline as Electronic Document Management (EDM) manager to develop an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) approach for the engineering department. In 2006, Dara joined Marc at AsBuilt, the business unit of the Brussels Airport Company and started his career in consulting.
Before creating Exquando late in 2009 with Marc, Dara worked in ECM consulting for Fujitsu Services and then for Capgemini. Over the last few years, Dara developed the shared content services for GlaxoSmithKline and led the team to manage content, deliver projects, and support the user community worldwide. During this period, he also developed an outsourcing operation in KPO (Knowledge Process Outsourcing) for GlaxoSmithKline to support the growth of activities, reduce cost and maximize client ROI.
Catherine Regniers — HR & Administration Manager
Catherine has more than 20 years’ experience working for large multinational companies and NGOs at different levels of the organisation. She worked for 12 years in the communications department of a large petrochemical company dealing with internal and external communications. She then joined the International Diabetes Federation where she managed several global projects and was Managing Editor of the Federation’s magazine — distributed around the world in four languages. She also contributed to setting up the External Relations department (which included communications, stakeholders’ relations and income generation) and helped form the Federation’s global strategy for external relations.
Years of working in multicultural environments have brought an extra dimension to Catherine’s skills and expertise in company administration, recruitment, people development and services to clients, skills she is now bringing to Exquando.
