🚀𝑴𝒂𝒂𝒌 𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒕 𝑳𝒊𝒆𝒔𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒉 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒕! 🚀 👩🏻💻 Na haar studies Moderne Talen-Wetenschappen ontdekte ze een onverwachte passie voor IT, ondanks tegenadvies van het CLB. Haar vastberadenheid om haar eigen pad te volgen en haar intrinsieke motivatie om te groeien, hebben haar geleid naar een bloeiende carrière als SAP Consultant bij Flexso. 🖥️ “IT is geen mannenberoep, net zoals zorgverlener of verpleegkundige voor mij geen vrouwenberoepen zijn”, voegt ze eraan toe. “Ik kijk ook niet op die manier naar mijn collega’s. Of je nu man, vrouw, jong of oud bent of welke overtuiging je ook hebt, dat maakt allemaal niet uit, zolang je maar met elkaar samenwerkt.” 💪“Zeggen dat ik iets niet ga kunnen, werkt bij mij niet.” ⬇️⬇️ Lees het verhaal via de link in comments! ⬇️⬇️ Liesbeth Verachtert Flexso Digital Flexso for People Gerline Gheysens Lien Vandeputte Nils Christiaens Raf Alexander elke 🌱 kraemer (she / her) Rein Meirte (She/her) Marjolein Callant Krystyna Anna Cichon Marinke Van Laer Sigrid Van de Wiele Stefanie Monteyne Barbara Delchambre Amina Vloeberghs Lieve Heylen Kim Verbist Eva Bouton

🌸BLOOM: INSPIRING STORY OF A WOMAN IN TECH🌸 Het verhaal van Sylvia Maeckelberghe, Quality Assurance verantwoordelijke bij Telenet biedt een inspirerend inzicht in hoe passie, leergierigheid en flexibiliteit naar een bloeiende carrière hebben geleid. 🦺 🖥️ 💪🏽 ❤️🔥 “Ik wou iets met die passie doen, maar allesbehalve een “saaie” boekhoudjob.” Dus maakte Sylvia een misschien wat onverwachte switch naar het onderwijs. “Ik wilde in die vakken zoals informatica, boekhouden en economie lesgeven.” Maar haar stage leidde haar naar een ander pad… 🌍 Sylvia’s parcours bewijst dat ze van verandering houdt. Is dat dan ook de reden waarom ze bij Telenet is gebleven? “Ik heb me altijd geamuseerd en kreeg of nam de uitdagingen altijd aan om te groeien.“ 🌟 Of Sylvia trots is op bepaalde mijlpalen of successen? “Daar sta ik te weinig bij stil”, vertelt ze. “Soms draait je carrière helemaal anders uit dan je zelf voor ogen had. En dan vind ik dat ieder mens even mag stilstaan bij hoe hij of zij successen verwezenlijkt heeft.” 👀 𝐋𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 ... #womenintech #Inspiringstories #telenetcareers #telenetjobs Sharing = Caring 😍 Ann Caluwaerts ,Kirsten Florentie , Annelies Van De Slijke ,Eva Lefevre Sonja Baete ,Kathelijn Vanhaute ,Stéphanie Valck , Indi Vandyck, Margot De Schepper, Lore Tessier , Silvia Núñez Patiño, Rein Meirte (She/her), Noémie Meggane Van Geersom
