Bert Meeus is the Director of X.S.S. BVBA. After he studied Business Economics, he started his career in a completely different sector. He wanted to find out what the job market had to offer, so he went from one place to another, until finally he found something he liked.
In only six months he became head of the quality control of a multinational in food packaging. It was in that period that he was contacted by Mr. Glenn Brignola, who had been his friend and neighbor for many years, to come and work for Diampro.
It was through him, that Bert got involved in the Diamond Software Market.
