PowerBee Team

Diet Broes
Founder & Energy Enthusiast

After earning my engineering degree and MBA from Vlerick, I fairly quickly started my career as an entrepreneur at WinWatt, a company active in the solar panel, charging station and battery business for both B2C and B2B customers.
Under my leadership, WinWatt quickly grew into a leading player (Be – Lux) with over 10,000 projects completed.

In 2018, WinWatt was acquired by TotalEnergies, after which I was able to further develop my expertise.
I worked for 5 years on strategic missions on electric vehicles and energy services, including a year in Paris.

Bolstered by my experience and passion for entrepreneurship, I founded PowerBee.
I believe that my broad industry knowledge and strategic insight will allow me to provide valuable services to my clients and contribute to a sustainable future.

Maarten
Head of business operations

After studying electromechanical engineering at UGent, I started my career in the IT sector as a consultant at Accenture.
For seven years, I gained valuable project experience at multinational companies in Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris.
This experience stimulated my entrepreneurial spirit, and together with a former colleague I founded Skryv.
At Skryv, we developed a low-code platform focused on digital government services.
As operational leader of Skryv, I made sure we built the team and processes to consistently meet our customers’ expectations.
We grew to a team of 15 employees and worked with various departments of the Flemish and Brussels governments.
After the successful sale of Skryv, I was ready for a new challenge.
At PowerBee, I found the ideal environment to apply my operational expertise to the energy transition.
PowerBee helps SMEs transition to renewable energy, contributing to a more sustainable world, a mission I fully support.
I am committed to creating value for our customers and making a positive contribution together with PowerBee.

Jeroen Steel
Energy Enthusiast

I am a driven energy-enthusiastic confidant with a long-term commitment to supporting customers.
I have swum through numerous waters in sales (quote comparison platforms, self-build kits, photovoltaic installations, etc.) and took the energy expert A course. Customer-oriented thinking and communication are the common thread throughout my course.
In addition to my interest in energy transition, I can lay my professional “egg” during writing training, copywriting and translation work.

I can enjoy building relationships with my clients.
Regularly keeping my finger on the pulse is in my DNA and it gives me enormous pleasure when I can relieve my clients by phone or in person.

Every business is a people business. With the electrification of society and the complexity of the dynamic energy market, companies need support in their energy transition more than ever.
That is exactly where I come in, to guide companies to their most optimal energy policies.

With more than 10 years of expertise in the international luxury fashion and real estate sector, I am dedicated to providing personalized guidance and exceptional service for each client.
Depending on your specific energy needs and in consultation with our in-house energy experts, I deliver a customized approach to your energy management.

PowerBee Advisory Board

Christophe De Wit
Investor Energy enthusiastic

‘He who does not dare, he who does not win’.
That is the spirit in which I have always wanted to develop.
I started quite young as an entrepreneur.
First, I worked in a sales and marketing position for a Dutch IT group.
A few years later, at the age of 27, I got the opportunity to set up the Belgian branch of Dell Computer.

A great experience that I was able to relive 4 years later at ARINSO.
I helped this SAP consulting company grow from 10 employees in Belgium to a group of 2,700 employees in almost 25 countries.
From 2007, I became an investor in numerous start-ups.

From 2009, I was a shareholder of Winwatt, among others, together with Dieter.
Today I am delighted to be part of this new company.

Paul Thiers
Investor Energy enthusiastic

Paul is a serial entrepreneur and investor with 40 years of experience running international companies.

He was co-CEO and shareholder of the Unilin Group.
