Stefan Kolle Premium Member Group moderator

As an innovator, Stefan has spent his working life on the edge of the future in ICT, media and finance. While staying rooted in the practicalities of business life, this has uniquely positioned him as someone who is able to translate visionary ideas and technologies into the language of technical and financial departments, as well as that of marketers. With his experience in internet applications, media and finance Stefan is an excellent sparring partner for senior level executives looking for an inspiring new look on their company.

As one of the first web design entrepreneurs in the Benelux and probably Europe, Stefan Kolle has worked on more digital and internet projects than he can remember.

He built real estate communities in Ireland, mobile payment systems in mainland Europe and showed Philips executives the opportunities of new media in Shanghai.

But his background as a senior executive and general manager in the finance and insurance industry has always avoided him getting swept away with technology. This level-headedness served him well when it comes to providing solutions that “work”.

In addition to general strategy work, today, Stefan advises brands like Heineken and Management Centre Europe on their digital and social media strategy.

He heads up Futurelab’s innovation, social and digital media practice.

His credentials include: Fortis Investments, Philips, Heineken/Amstel, Deloitte, LOWE, Ogilvy, BBDO, Novartis, Lexus, Bank of Piraeus,European Defence Agency, Novartis, TeleAtlas, HP, the Belgian Government, Telenet, HVM Law.

Stefan is Senior Associate at Management Centre Europe/American Management Association for whom he has delivered programmes in Europe and Asia.
He also serves as senior advisor and board member to Logic in Motion, HVM Law, INACO and Nedesco.

Personal Credo: My ideal: a world without the need for advertising. A world where products and services are based on true customer insights and executed in perfection. A world where both customers and employees are so satisfied, motivated, enabled and empowerd to spread the gospel that brands don’t have to be an annoyance anymore.

Personal quote: There is no limit to what a man can achieve as long as he doesn't care who get's the credit (Bob Woodruff, Coca Cola)
