Wannes Gillis

I am a versatile business professional with a strong background in workforce planning, business analytics, and project management. Most recently, I worked as Supervisor of Workforce Planning at Lotus Bakeries, where I led a team focused on process optimization and digitalization, leveraging SAP BI and Power Query to drive data-driven improvements.

Prior to that, I served as a Business Analytics Consultant and Project Manager at Ortec Belgium, delivering data analysis, business and functional analysis, and project management for high-profile clients such as Brussels Airport, Shell, Heineken, and TATA Steel, using tools like Power BI, SQL, Visual Basic, and Python.

I started my career as a Junior Tax Consultant at Deloitte Belgium, gaining experience in functional analysis, Visual Basic, and tax-related processes.

I hold a Master of Business Engineering from KU Leuven (cum laude) with a focus on Data Science, Business Analytics, and Operations Research, as well as a Bachelor of Business Engineering with a major in Accountancy and Finance. My experience combines analytical rigor, technological proficiency, and leadership skills, enabling me to deliver insights and efficiency across business operations.
