Paul Kaisin
Director
After having obtained a Master degree in Business and Finance (At ICHEC/ISC St Louis and the University of South Wales/Glamorgan), Paul Kaisin started his career at Coca Cola Company as a sales representative where he developed expertise in the retail process.
After the Retail environment, Paul enters within the purchase world through his new challenge as a buyer at Ariane II. Both experiences gave him the appetite for getting in touch with the world of Business Intelligence/data in 2001 when he joined the sales force at Ariane II/Transiciel. One year later he started working at Sword Technologies as Sales Manager.
To increase his service level to customers, Paul Kaisin decided to further expand his financial skills and combine them with his proficiency in Data. Hence he went for a third degree in Finance at ICHEC. In 2003, he developed a new BI Business Unit addressing the Public and Private sectors in Belgium. He continued growing within the company and was elevated to the position of Sales Director in 2007 and Director in 2008. Backed by more than 12 years of experience in recruitment and business development within the sector of BI, Paul Kaisin joined the partnership of Velixis in 2010 – which became Micropole in 2012 - as Director. He is since then responsible for helping customers in the development and implementation of BI solutions using a user-centric approach. By identifying the best solution and the right resources, Paul Kaisin has been able to successfully gain the confidence of consultants and customers working together to succeed in projects within the right budget.
