Vorian Maryssael

My professional life and my personal life is equally important to me and they impact each other. For me it is not about finding work-life balance, but to understand the interaction between the two and how they best enrich each other. Meaning that they enrich me as a person, and thus the people I am connected to. It has been a long journey to dare being all of me, everywhere. Bringing forth the skills, experience and emotions needed for the occasion, and knowing how to.

Business Development is my key professional skill and I love the start-up world, the versatility, creativity and risk it contains. I have my own start-up in its early stages and I love to share my love for it and experiences with that.

I come from many years in the Oil & Gas industry. I have also worked in aquaculture and I have a few years with the UN in Vienna. I am a Negotiations specialist, NLP Coach and a Yoga teacher. Three fields that together make up my approach when interacting with others. I am still, and will always be a learner.

I am of mixed cultures, with strong influence from Sweden, Mexico and Belgium. I have lived in London, Buenos Aires, Vienna, Oslo and now Stavanger, apart from my inherited countries. I speak Swedish, English and Spanish fluently.

I am a single mother of twins that were born just when I turned 41. They changed everything and they keep on rocking my boat.
