Bart Cuylaerts – E-Commerce Manager at Essent

Previously…

Senior E-Commerce Specialist

Essent Belgium

As an energy provider Essent has a relatively difficult sign-on flow: Every customer has a different price, there are legal and various technical restraints. On top of that commodities are difficult to market since everyone needs them. All of those factors make this a challenging post that allowed me to learn how to work with many different stakeholders, and how to activate them to roll out the e-commerce agenda.

Skills picked up

  • Coordinating between different teams & partners
  • Marketing & selling commodities
  • Corporate communication

2019 – 2021

Team leader

  • Unify performance across team members
  • Setting up cross platform strategies
  • Inbound marketing

Web Analytics Consultant

2008 – 2010

SEO Consultant

QueroMedia (OnlyHumans)

I started my professional career as an SEO consultant at QueroMedia. Those first months taught me a lot of things I still fall back on today: How to meet with customers, how to quickly learn new technologies and how to get on with it. I’m still thankful that this team was my first, as its work ethic set the tone for the rest of my career.

Skills picked up

About me

I’m a father and a husband. A movie freak. I enjoy cooking and traveling. I love Formula One. I enjoy partying in Monaco. I’m a bungee jumper and canyon swinger. I take paths less traveled. I support Berchem Sport, the best team in the world. And Manchester United, the second best team in the world. I’m a reader. I’m a writer. I think. I do. A linchpin. A teacher. I keep a curious & open mind. I journal and reflect. I speak up. I stand up for injustice. I’m a husband. And a father.
