Delfine Van Boxlaer

Senior people and leadership executive with 20+ years of experience supporting growth, transformation and professionalisation in SMEs, scale-ups and international technology-driven organisations.

Trusted sparring partner to executives, known for honest feedback, critical reflection and pragmatic guidance.

Proficient at challenging the status quo and delivering innovative solutions, especially in the field of leadership, stakeholder management, team dynamics, performance management and communication.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me running, singing in a choir, or gathered around a table with good food and great wine. Running clears my head and builds resilience. Singing reminds me that harmony only works when you truly listen and adjust to others. And long dinners are my favourite setting for unhurried, meaningful conversations. I’m fascinated by how people connect, whether over a beat, a story, or a shared laugh.

I believe mentoring is a two-way exchange: I bring experience, but I also learn from each conversation. There’s nothing I enjoy more than helping someone connect the dots between insight and action with empathy, honesty, and a bit of grit.
