What drives him is that a consumer looks differently at a bed or mattress than a manufacturer.

He started working as an R&amp;D manager and category manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepy.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sleepy\u00ae<\/a>, a well-known sleep retailer in Belgium.    By the way, since 2018, all Sleepy\u00ae products are available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepworld.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sleepworld<\/a> in Belgium and the fantastic brand is also active far beyond the country&#8217;s borders. In recent years, his focus has been on product development and trainer and sales manager for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intres.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intres XP<\/a>. Finally, he is also a sleep coach at <a href=\"https:\/\/groepspraktijk-remise.be\/teamleden\/#jurgen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group practice Remise<\/a> in Pelt.
