Location:
6110 Montigny-le-Tilleul,
Belgium
Date of Birth:
March 13th, 1980
In 2020 after more than 15 years of experience where I gained a strong background in Financial Audit (Big Four), Corporate Finance & Interim/General Management, I decided to take on a new challenge with an EXECUTIVE MBA program at SOLVAY BRUSSELS SCHOOL.
This journey (October 2020 – June 2022) gives me the opportunity to broaden my skills with learning and practice in fields like Strategy, Leadership, Global Entrepreneurship, Brand Management, Digital Marketing, Team building, Negotiation Analysis, Project Management and Business Analytics.
All of this with a purpose of moving from Finance positions towards General Management/CEO positions.
Dynamic and well organized I like challenges, getting the things done and leadership.

ABOUT ME
Christophe Panichi
Being 41 years old, married and father of 2 children, next to my professional life I like doing sports and take up challenges.
Over the last 20 years I had the chance to run more than 15 different Marathons (New York, Berlin, London…), ride thousands of km by bike, climb the Mont Ventoux several time (by bike as well by foot) and participate to several Triathlons (Olympic Distance mainly). In 2022 I’ll have the chance to represent Belgium at the World Championship of Triathlon in Olympic Distance that will take place in Abu Dhabi.
