Steven entered the aviation world in 2001 running a project to start up a cargo airline based in Brussels. He found a mentor in Herman Neukermans, and a compagnon de route in Koen Servaes.

He started his own company, offering eyes and ears in Asia for airports, airlines and aviation related companies.

He worked there for 15 years as the commercial director of Liege Airport, Belgium’s leading cargo airport. He was responsible for the global cargo development but was also in charge of passenger, real estate and consulting.
