A professional journalist with more than 20 years experience, Guy Van Den Noortgate is a specialist in the field of economic journalism. His particular specialism lies in crafting portraits of companies and the men and women making their mark in the economic world. A job which he describes as “enriching and which above all allows me to uncover diverse personalities and tell stories which are often moving, sometimes surprising but always full of passion.”
A co-founder of the Nara Press agency in 1991, he works regularly for the business weekly Trends-Tendances for which he is responsible for the Trends Gazelles, the regional leaders and the Trends Business Tour. He also writes for chamber of commerce magazines including that of the CCILB, Entreprendre Aujourd’hui…
Although he has an interest in all forms of business activity and economic sectors, he is particularly fascinated by new technologies, economic intelligence and energy – he has even written a book on nuclear energy in Belgium. “It allows one to approach countless activities from multiple perspectives. Economic of course, but also social, environmental, scientific and most importantly, from the human perspective.”
Outside of his professional life, Guy has a strong love and fascination for cooking, reading, travelling in Brazil, football and the culture of the American Indians. “In broader terms, a fascination for anthropology which teaches us as much about others as it does about ourselves.”
