Meet Our Team

Anouk

   Anouk

From the very first contact, Anouk was pleasantly surprised by the way Lincoln shows genuine interest in the person behind each Talent. The company can rely on 30 years of experience, yet also further encourages entrepreneurship and innovation in a rather traditional sector. This is what strongly appealed to her and still does.

She believes a data-driven approach combined with a strong focus on human capabilities is what will determine how successful organizations will be in the future. Providing a true psychological safety zone for people, inside or outside their company, will be key. And it goes without saying that Talent will always come first!

Having spent her youth in France, Anouk is always in for a lovely ‘Poulet de Bresse aux morilles’, she loves Pink Floyd but also Juliette Armanet and enjoys short city breaks. The country she would like to discover for the next holidays is Japan.

Martine

Martine is naturally curious about people, companies and brands and always looks at the bright side of life. She has many years of experience in marketing & communication and genuinely ‘cares’ for the Talents she works with.

Looking at the evolutions we observe within HR, she is happy to notice that despite or should we rather say thanks to digitization, personal contacts become more and more important. And that is precisely what Lincoln is all about: that highly personal approach.

To relax, Martine loves swimming and reading, preferably when taking some time off in Spain.

For our ever-optimistic hedonist Koen, it all begins with listening. He is a true entrepreneur with a great passion for people and human mysteries.

At Lincoln, Koen loves the fact that connection is key: the numerous talents we work with and for are always the starting point and making a truly personal connection with them is what our core business is all about. Talent comes first at Lincoln, and for Koen, it’s just great to be able to put that into practice and make talent management a bit more sustainable every day.

Further more, Koen is always in for a game of padel or chess, good food, long walks and travelling.

Geert

  Geert

His focus on people and his experience as a consultant,- worldwide and in different cultures,- is what characterizes Geert. He enjoys an international environment where cooperation is key. Lincoln’s personal and especially talent-oriented approach fits him like a glove.

Guiding talents to help them grow is what he wants to do, and he is a big fan of the methodology Lincoln has developed for that purpose.

Besides the growing impact of AI, it is the shift from employer power to employee power that Geert identifies as one of the critical evolutions within our working field. Talents take control of their career path.

Geert has a broad taste in music, is into vintage motos and wants to make sure he can cross a trip from India to the Himalayas off his bucket list soon.
