Inge Van Belle.

Inge is French-Belgian, lives in Dubai and is senior client partner at Korn Ferry. She's the co-founder of Herculean Alliance, the Belgium and UAE based organisation that specializes in employee engagement.

Known for her passion and expertise in people-centric work, Inge's focus spans employee engagement, executive search, leadership, and organisational culture. She founded the Bravos! Employee Engagement Awards and has led intercultural projects across ten countries. A board member in multiple organisations, Inge is also a committed advocate for women's empowerment. In 2024, she was named 50under 50 for the Middle East and Africa by Un Women.

Her team’s approach is based on advisory, private and public events(like Hercules Trophy). She developed a free employee engagement test as research for her book.

During the pandemic, Inge started the Employee Engagement Awards initiative, which was rebranded to the Bravos and also launched in the UAE. It became the most viewed business TV format in Belgium. Together with partners like Nespresso, Microsoft, Telenet, Ordina, and ISS, they encourage small and big companies to submit their extraordinary stories of employees going the extra mile during these challenging times. X-Factor meets Dragons' Den meets the Oscars.

You will appreciate Inge’s energy: a combination of her authentic personality, refreshing creativity, witty humour and work ethic. Inge’s favourite quote is: “We rise by lifting others”, summing up her determination to make the world a better place, one employee at a time. As the founder of Pink Ladies Games and Herculix Foundation, she strongly advocates social entrepreneurship.
