Bruno Van Gompel

Bruno has a deep, end-to-end understanding of what it takes to develop, produce and distribute consumer products. He combines this with a passion for sustainability and circularity. He holds a Master of Science in Chemistry and Food Industry and started his professional career as production manager at BP Chemicals, Union Carbide and Dow Chemicals.

In 1993 he joined Coca-Cola, where, over more than 27 years, he acquired practical and strategic knowledge about product development, scientific and regulatory affairs, operations, supply chain and marketing. He worked across multiple geographies in Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Until recently he was VP Technical, Innovation and Supply Chain for Western Europe and responsible for the Sustainable Packaging Office for the Coca-Cola in Western Europe. His experience in packaging and supply chain combined with his ability to develop and implement an effective, integrate sustainability strategy resulted in defining, meeting and even exceeding many bold, external commitments. Bruno has many years of experience as board member of several European Associations including PETCORE (PET value chain), EPBP (Plastic Bottle Platform) and AIJN (Fruit Juices).

Currently Bruno is Managing Director of VGV Management Services assisting companies and industry associations to establish and reach their sustainability and innovation goals.
