Jean-Pierre Bizet built his career as CEO of two major Belgian companies, GIB Group and D'Ieteren, before also teaching strategy at Université Libre de Bruxelles and co-leading McKinsey's change management practice, giving him a rare mix of academic, corporate leadership, and consulting experience. At New Science Ventures, this shows up in his board-heavy, governance-focused role—he serves as a non-executive director on multiple boards, including Novadip since 2015—reflecting a career built more on running and guiding large organizations than on traditional dealmaking.
