Targa Viasat Belgium officially becomes Targa Telematics Belgium. This name change marks the completion of Viasat’s integration into the Targa Telematics group and opens a new chapter for the Belgian subsidiary. The company now has a clearly defined local strategy and vision, led by its new Country Manager, David Van den Bogaert. Under his leadership, the Belgian entity intends to strengthen its business development and sharpen its market positioning.
This new dynamic also aims to strengthen customer relationships and offer more proactive support. It will accelerate business growth and consolidate synergies between the Belgian and French teams. The sharing of expertise between the two countries is a major lever in supporting the expansion of Targa Telematics Belgium.
David Van den Bogaert appointed Country Manager
David Van den Bogaert brings more than 10 years of experience at LeasePlan Belgium, where he has held various commercial and management positions. He has extensive international expertise in general management, sales and marketing management, and business development. With his expertise in driving commercial performance, organizational transformation and his deep knowledge of the Belgian and Flemish market, he is a valuable asset to Targa Telematics Belgium as the company enters its next phase of growth.
“Targa Telematics Belgium can move forward with greater consistency in a rapidly growing Belgian market. Our ambition is clear: to offer operators in the world of mobility high value-added solutions that meet their challenges. By working more closely with our customers and partners, we want to accelerate our growth, focus on strategic priorities and strengthen our synergy with France,” says David Van den Bogaert, Country Manager of Targa Telematics Belgium.
“David’s appointment reinforces Targa Telematics’ presence in Belgium and marks an important step in our long term strategy. Belgium also plays a strategic role in our international growth plan: not only as a country with strong local potential, but also as a central hub supporting the expansion of high growth markets such as Africa.
Thanks to David’s experience and the close collaboration between our Belgian teams and the wider organisation, we are confident that Belgium will play an increasingly significant role in the execution of our strategic roadmap,” says Alberto Falcione, Vice President Sales at Targa Telematics.
Expansion of Belgian business
To further expand Targa Telematics’ Belgian activities, the company is also hiring Sylvie Verboomen as International Key Account Manager. She will strengthen the business drive thanks to her experience in the field of mobility. Sylvie has worked at Athlon for more than ten years in Belgium, France and internationally, making her the right person to help realize Targa Telematics’ ambitions and support growth.
