Luc de Brabandere

Luc de Brabandere is a distinguished Belgian corporate philosopher and polymath who has spent his career bridging the gap between the rigorous world of mathematics and the fluid realm of human creativity. Originally trained in applied mathematics, he later earned a PhD in philosophy, a duality that defines his unique intellectual perspective.

A Senior Advisor at the Boston Consulting Group, de Brabandere has served as a strategic guide for global leaders, teaching them to “think in new boxes” rather than simply trying to think outside them. He is a prolific author of more than 20 books and a co-founder of Cartoonbase, an agency that uses visual storytelling to simplify complex ideas. Whether lecturing at world-class universities like the Louvain School of Management or analyzing the ethical implications of AI, he remains dedicated to the “zigzag” of thought – the essential movement between logic, creativity, and critical judgment.
