This month, two remarkable people from our media and advertising world are taking a bow. Last month, we already celebrated them during the AMMA Ceremony, but we would like to take a moment to give them the recognition they truly deserve.
Yves Gerard and Remi Boel are two exceptional personalities who each represent a complementary side of our sector. At the same time, they share many qualities: decades of expertise, a deep passion for media, and above all, a warm and human approach.
Yves has been a leading presence in our media landscape. Not only because he led RMB for almost 35 years, but also because he played a key role in transforming RMB from a traditional TV sales house into a modern cross-media player and a trusted partner within our ecosystem. Above all, we will remember Yves as a warm and respectful leader, someone who brought people together and built lasting trust. Some describe him as a true gentlemen and a great manager, a combination that suits him perfectly.
Remi has built an impressive career at the crossroads of media strategy, research and consultancy, with the last 26 years at Omnicom Media. He also played an important role in the Belgian media sector as Chairman of the CIM Technical Committees, contributing to the monitoring and development of Belgian media research. Beyond his deep expertise, Remi is especially known for his calm and thoughtful personality. A thoughtful voice with great credibility, who always enriched discussions with both knowledge and humanity.
Yves and Remi, thank you for your many years of contribution to our sector. You leave behind a truly valuable legacy.
Thank you also for your long-standing support to CommPass. Our mission is to empower media professionals. For many years, you have helped empower our entire community. We are truly grateful ❤️
