Adam Van Aerschot is a Manager at BDO Belgium within the Deal & Valuation business practice. He has assisted clients across various sectors and transaction sizes, quickly specializing in data-driven analysis to enhance financial due diligence analysis using operational data. His growing interest in data analytics led him to spearhead the development of BDO Belgium’s data analytics platform, “Data Eyes.” Adam’s ability to bring a business perspective on the positive impact and challenges of integrating data analytics within the M&A expertise and process makes him an ideal speaker for this conference.

Michiel Stinissen is a Senior Consultant at BDO Belgium within the Digital Business practice, specializing in data engineering. In addition to assisting clients with data solutions design and implementation, Michiel took on the challenge of developing the BDO Data Eyes platform on the newly launched Microsoft Fabric platform. Michiel’s ability to bring a technical perspective on why this was only possible in Fabric makes him an ideal speaker for this conference.

Benni is a Senior Program Manager in the Fabric Customer Advisory Team (Fabric CAT) at Microsoft. Aspiring to be top notch in his field, through continuous personal development, on both technical and soft skills. He strives for maximum results in his tasks using team play, communication, thinking outside of the box, and (endless) motivation. Benni is always ready to tackle the unknown, or pick up fresh ideas to broaden his range. Building on past experiences, he continuously tries to find new, more efficient ways of obtaining results, and improving the process along the way.

Loving (almost) every day of it, he’s fascinated by the value of data, sometimes flabbergasted by the lack of awareness, and intrigued by the endless possibilities whilst discovering new ways of looking at data. He thrives on unfolding new insights for customers whilst using an open and transparent communication.

On a daily basis he turns (large amounts of) coffee into insights for customers, and references witty British comedy, lame dad jokes, and obscure facts way too often. Overly enthusiastic about anything data related, he’s trying hard to keep up with all things new and shiny.

When not working, blogging or reading, you’ll likely find him out and about being his weird self. Rumour has it that he’s also involved with a ragtag band of data enthusiasts, enjoying themselves whilst organising cool community things.
They go by the name of .. dataMinds!
