When we founded Myreas in September 2019, the biggest challenge was finding and hiring the right people. You know, those typical white ravens everyone is looking for in the labor market. Here's how we've built up a team of 50 people strong in less than 18 months. Inspired by Top Gun.

These days he is known as Chief Financial Officer within Colruyt Group, but in a previous life, Stefaan Vandamme used to work amongst others as a manager within strategy consulting companies. This makes him the most suitable sounding board for the enterprise architects at Myreas during major transformations.

As Director People & Organization at Colruyt Group, Liesbeth Sabbe has been an advocate of the power of culture-driven companies for years. On top of that, she herself started her career as a system designer aka the historical predecessor of the current generation of enterprise architects. That seemed an interesting combination for an interview.

When Frank Lemmens made the move from Chief Enterprise Architect at VRT to Myreas a year ago, he didn't immediately expect a first year of this kind. Like so many of us. We went to visit him in his home office in Leuven and talked to him about joy as a leitmotiv, tactical roadmaps and Top Gun.

The goal in June 2020 was simple. Synthesize all the enterprise architecture craftmanship within Colruyt Group into a one-of-a-kind training program unparalleled on the European market. You've got exactly 5 months. At Myreas, we’re always up for a challenge!

It is extremely helpful if everyone in an organization speaks the same language. As Marketing Director of Colruyt Group, Jo Willemyns is well aware of the power of clear communication and transparency. Also when it comes to enterprise architecture.
