Bruno Stuyts – Managing director<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Bruno started ProFound BVBA in 2014 to support engineering companies with tailormade geotechnical expertise. Over the course of a decade, he has been involved in offshore Oil & Gas and Renewable energy projects worldwide. From the first German offshore wind farm to ultra-deep water projects in West-Africa, Bruno has been committed to delivering state-of-the-art geotechnical solutions.<\/p>\n
Since 2019, Bruno is appointed as Visiting Professor Offshore Geotechnics at Ghent University.<\/p>\n
As the author of more than a dozen peer-reviewed technical papers, he is passionate about advancing the geotechnical knowledge and sharing these advances with the engineering community. Bruno enjoys working on the crossroads of engineering disciplines, ensuring that geotechnical, structural and data management aspects of offshore projects are aligned, with a view to improving engineering efficiency.<\/p>\n
