With Filocian I want to help others make life great: have fun, stay healthy, find peace, make friends, be successful and comfortable.  Living your own life requires courage, and a spirit that makes your life an adventure while reaching for your dreams.

After 20 years as a relentless growth entrepreneur with outside investors, I chose a new path. I had co-founded LCL Data Centers and Eurofiber, two highly successful companies. Eurofiber became the leading fiber network provider in the Northern Europe, and LCL a leading data center operator in Belgium, with 5 data centers.

Now I wanted to foster initiative, courage and entrepreneurship and maintain my independence while enjoying my family and the natural beauty of Cala Tamarit in Spain. The name Filocian I picked for its meaning: Philo/Filo (love) and Otium/Ocio (leisure) to capture the sense of freedom that courage and initiative can bring.  

Since our start we have built an amazing company.  Filocian is growing fast, on its own terms.

I found that life can be in our own hands.  As in the poem Invictus, we are indeed "the master of our fate and the captain of our soul".  Let us show you the way.
