Erwin Warrinnier

Head of ICT and Security @ AZ Sint-Jan te Brugge

West Flanders, Belgium

As an experienced leader in the ICT sector, I combine more than three decades of ICT knowledge with strategic insight and a sharp eye for organizational development. In various environments — from growing SMEs to large enterprises — I have led transformations in complex organizations, technological innovation programs, operational efficiency, and cross-functional matrix teams. My career began as a developer, where I built a strong foundation in technical fundamentals. Over the years, I advanced into key roles at the intersection of IT, business, and strategy. A solid mix of knowledge, experience, and vision remains the cornerstone of my leadership style: realistic, well-founded, and focused on practical, proven, and innovative solutions. Currently, I am looking for a position where I can apply my leadership, experience, and vision to make an impact together with a strong team and help shape the organization’s direction.
