Our Team

Meet our team

Behind Sempertex Europe is a team of people, each bringing their own strengths. Different characters, different talents, but all equally important.

What connects us? A love for the brand and the drive to do better every day.

Sofie Vandewyer

CEO Sempertex Europe

Thinks in colours, speaks in strategy, and keeps an overview, even when everything is moving at once. Builds markets, drives growth, and maintains the balance between numbers and creativity. Not afraid of a challenge, but wary of never-ending meetings.

Koen Van Damme

Head of technical & events

Ensures everything runs technically and gets everything done, even when it gets complex. Over 30 years of experience in the balloon industry and still just as driven. Brings people together, is always approachable, and never shy about a joke.

Rani Vandiest

Head of operations & customer experience

Keeps everything running and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Always punctual and maintains overview and structure, even when everything is happening at once. Takes care of what needs to be done, often before anyone realises it.

Kim Cuppers

Finance & Data

Brings numbers to life and ensures everything is accurate, down to the details. Combines accounting with data analysis and turns numbers into clear insights. Her first question? How much does that cost?


Vroni Effner

Customer Service

Ensures that customers feel heard and helped, from the first question to the last detail. Acts quickly, thinks along and translates questions immediately into solutions. Follows everything up closely and makes a difference in the small things.

Gigi Canale

Customer service

Is the first point of contact and is full of energy from the first to the last phone call. Thinks along, tackles everything immediately and always goes for it. Brings pace, positivity and ensures the Italian Drama ;-).

Julie Joris

Event & Office Assistant

Steps in wherever needed and feels just as at home behind a desk, at the till or at an event. Switches quickly between tasks, people and situations without missing a beat. Versatile and always ready for whatever comes next.

Nati Alemayehu

Sales Specialist

Builds relationships with business clients and turns them into concrete growth for Sempertex. Combines commercial insight with a personal approach and always knows how to open doors. Preferably with a smile.

Anouk Mussen

Creative & Color Specialist

Brings colour to life and creates palettes that stick immediately. Translates ideas into visuals and supports the social media team where needed. Camera-shy, creative, and versatile.

Tijl Ceyssens

Media & Content Creator

Always comes up with fresh ideas and content that nobody saw coming. Keeps an eye on trends, thinks creatively and is not afraid to challenge the status quo. Brings energy, humour and just enough chaos to keep the entire team on their toes.

Atilla Ucum

Videographer & Editor

Captures every moment on camera and makes sure it looks exactly right in the edit. Leaves nothing to chance and has a sharp eye for detail. Patient, precise and always focused on the end result.

Robin Rutten

Head Marketing

Ensures that the brand is visible at the right moments, in the right places. Thinks in campaigns, content and growth, and translates ideas into strong marketing. Young, ambitious and always looking for what can be better, smarter or stronger.

Stefan Mertens

Warehouse Operator

Does the heavy work as if it is nothing and is always ready to jump in. Strong, straightforward and not afraid to pick up the pace. Our powerhouse that we can rely on.

Jeroen Heylen

Warehouse Operator

Ensures that the work is done and that there is also laughter in the meantime. Brings energy to the warehouse and lifts everyone's spirits with his mood. The joker of the team but one who always pitches in.

Matisse Lambrichts

Warehouse Operator

Picks orders with precision and ensures everything is neatly prepared. Works calmly, does his own thing and likes to keep it simple. Prepares everything in the warehouse and just has pizza at home.

Jan Verbeek

Head of Warehouse

Leads the flow in the warehouse with a calm and gentle approach.

Takes time for people, maintains a good atmosphere and ensures that everyone is included. Stays calm in the hustle and bustle or pretends very well ;-)

Why professionals choose Sempertex

Your customers already know the brand. This is what the professional community says about the product you would be selling.

Let's see if we're a good fit. Here is how it works.

We believe in building strong, long-term partnerships. That's why we like to make sure there's a good fit on both sides from the start.

1

Apply

Fill in the two minute form above and pick a time slot for your intake call.

2

Intake call

A call of 30 to 60 minutes with our team. We look at your business, your region and your customers, and check honestly whether we can serve your business well and whether it is the right match on both sides.

3

Partnership and launch

If it is a match, you become an official partner. You receive your starter package with launch support, ready to sell the week it arrives.

Zero dead stock risk on your first order*

Here is exactly how it works. You place your first order. Anything that has not sold after 90 days, we buy back or swap for products that fit your customers better. Your money back, or a shelf that sells. Either way, your first order cannot leave you stuck with stock. You test Sempertex in your shop, we carry the risk.
