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.

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?
