Ben Schaumont

Welcome to the page where you can find out a little more about me.

After studying business administration and law, I became a lawyer at the DGDM. There I worked in the criminal law, corporate law and air passenger rights team.

After this experience, I moved to Schoups lawyers, with offices in Antwerp and Brussels, as a Knowledge Manager. There I designed and implemented projects such as integrated databases, innovative training platforms, automated analysis of company data and optimising the workings of the knowledge team. “Real power is knowledge”.

Since 24 July, I’ve returned to my base camp as Innovation and Operations Captain at DGDM.

I’m passionate about technology, innovation, relaxing and working with Ghent enthusiasm. By daring to approach processes in an innovative and structured way, we guarantee a solid and sustainable environment. I’m convinced that a well-prepared organisation with strong people can cope with anything. The DGDM’s standards are a step in that direction, both legally and organisationally. “It’s fun to do the impossible” Walt Disney

I draw my inspiration freely from nature on adventure trips to exotic places. I prefer slow journeys, such as hiking, backpacking or trekking by bike.
