Experience in a nutshell
Business Analyst
Within Ace Consulting I work as a freelance Business Analyst and Validation Expert in the pharmaceutical sector. I ensure that complex IT systems are up and running.
Bio-Engineer
With a passion for figuring out how things think from a young age, I chose to study Bio-Engineering in Leuven. In my Master I specialized in IT and digitalization.
Software Developer
In my first years of work I gained experience as a software and database developer, where I learned to set up systems. I missed thinking along with the business, so I went more in that direction.
About Arne Van Gestel
On a personal note
For a successful collaboration, I believe a personal match is important.
So I'd like to tell you a little more about myself:
- 33 years old, born and raised in Lier.
- Proud husband of Michelle Brakatsoula, founder of Clio Consultancy.
- In 2024, my wife and I bought our dream home in Schilde, where the practice of our company, Apollo, is also located.
- I like to be active in sports. I play tennis, paddle and like to go skiing. In the mountains I feel free, both on a board and on skis.
- Apero time is my favorite time of the day. Enjoying life is my motto.
- People describe me as patient and meticulous. I get involved in every story and go to great lengths to achieve the results I envision. Every step I take is calculated – yes, I am a pro/con list guy.
Our approach
My vision on Shopify webshops
Keep it simple
I find it important to help you further with solutions tailored to your needs. Unnecessary bells and whistles? Not on my watch. The juice must be worth the squeeze, always.
You're the boss
It is your business, which means that you need to be in control. This way you can continue independently with your webshop and you are not tied to anything.
Easy to use
Ease of use is not only important for the customer, but is also crucial for you as an entrepreneur. I want you to be able to manage your webshop easily and efficiently.
Communication is key
My goal is to relieve you of your worries. So you can count on open and clear communication in plain language. No mysterious fuss, as you often find in this sector.
