The appointment marks the first time AbsenLive has introduced a localised business development position dedicated to the live events and entertainment market across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg
Operating from Belgium, Olivier will be responsible for supporting AbsenLive’s continued growth across the Benelux market.
