Mr Frederic Vandermeulen | Head of Yield and Route Management
Thalys International

Living in Belgium, I am almost 39 years old, married with two children.

I’m a Baseball fan, playing as catcher but when I’m too tired, il like play chess to remember my participation at the Belgian Young contest.

Otherwise, I also like ride my bike to avoid the traffic jams.

Experience

Today I have more than 10 years of experience in Revenue Management.

I discover the Revenue Management when I was receptionist for an hotel of the Accor group in Belgium.

I became an internal trainer for the new reservation system providing Revenue Management.

After a little more than two years as Front Office Manager I join the Area Revenue Manager team for Belgium, I hold different position for 5 years.

In 2009 Thalys called me to take the responsability of the Revenue Management department.

Few years ago we merge Revenue Management team and Route (product) Management team to ensure a perfect mix between revenue optimization and client satisfaction.

In the mean time I create my own company providing Revenue Management tools and advise for small hotels organisation.
