Experience

Over more than thirty years, Pascal van Dieren has led companies and, above all, the people within them. As a general manager across Europe, Eastern Europe and Africa, he has built and steered teams, developed managers and guided organisations through demanding change. For six years, he was an associate in a Brussels-based interim management firm, placing and supporting executives through critical transitions. For over a decade, he has been facilitating the Oxygène peer groups for company directors at AKT – CCI Liège-Verviers-Namur — leading confidential circles where leaders work through their challenges together. It is this blend of operational leadership and hands-on human experience that he brings to those he works with.

​

Mission

Through Engagio, Pascal supports the people who carry the weight of the final decision. He works as an executive sparring partner, a facilitator of leadership teams and peer groups, and a strategic anchor for directors navigating high-stakes moments. Whether one-to-one or with a group, his role is the same: to listen closely, challenge assumptions, foster genuine engagement and help turn complex situations into clear, confident choices. One conviction underpins it all: important decisions deserve to be challenged.

Education

Pascal holds a Master's degree in Applied Economics from the University of Antwerp.

​

Culture

At ease across borders and cultures, Pascal moves naturally between Belgium's Flemish and French-speaking worlds and the international arenas in which he has worked throughout his career. Honorary Consul of France in Antwerp since 2016 and a board member of the Franco-Belgian Chamber of Commerce, he maintains a lasting dedication to community and to the ties between Belgium and France. He cultivates an approach built on proximity, discretion and straight talk, and thrives in the high-trust relationships that meaningful decisions demand. A lifelong field hockey player, he still takes to the pitch whenever he can.
