Office Manager

Liesbeth Defrancq is Office Manager at the Itinera Institute. She studied Law at the VUB in Brussels and Journalism at Erasmushogeschool in Brussels. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in Law and a bachelor’s degree in Journalism. She joined the Itinera-team in October 2016. Previously, Liesbeth worked as an editor for the newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.

Liesbeth chose to switch from the media to Itinera because she wants to help create, communicate and implement solutions to social problems. With her positive critical attitude, she fits perfectly with Itinera's vision: looking positively to the future without denying the figures and facts.

As Office Manager, she is the backbone of the team, ensuring the smooth running and coordination of communications, events, finance and administration.
