Vlerick Award

The Vlerick Award is a Belgian award granted by Vlerick Alumni, the official alumni organisation of Vlerick Business School. The nominees must be Belgian managers with excelling management skills who have achieved sustainable results within an important multinational or organisation from an international perspective.

The winner of the Vlerick Award remains undecided until the very last moment, as it is the public who decides. Before the event, the public can cast their vote online through the website of Vlerick Alumni. The winner is determined by counting these online votes together with the result of the live voting from the audience during the show.

During the Vlerick Award 2016, which will take place on Thursday 2 June 2016 at Hotel Le Plaza in Brussels, we will further explore the theme of "Legacy and Promise: Building on yesterday, heading into tomorrow". How do each of our nominees lead their company which has such a rich past without losing focus on the future? How can we build on legacy and head into tomorrow to realise the promise of the future?

Our nominees for 2016 are (in alphabetical order):
