In the business for over 20 years, DPO International takes great pride in their ability and experience to “Connect Local Markets to Global Food Innovations”.
Daniel’s consistency for strong leadership in cross cultural businesses goes way back to his schooling days when he used to volunteer at his father’s fruit-orchards in Haspengouw, Belgium. Being a skilful communicator (with the ability to converse in Dutch, French, English, German and Spanish), Daniel often had to communicate with over 150 fruit-harvesters of multi-ethnic origin. Always an enterprising individual, Daniel also made a considerable amount of money from a student guide published during his university years. By the time he graduated from the University of Antwerp with a Masters Degree in Applied Economic Sciences, Daniel had enough capital in hand to begin a plan for his new business. Daniel moved to Japan in 1993, where he secured a consultancy contract from three Belgian companies: de TienseSuikerrafinaderij (Tienen Sugar), the Belgian Pork Meat Association and NoordNatie, a stevedoring company from Antwerp, now owned by the Port of Singapore Authority. It was the starting point of DPO International.

Always encouraging economic growth, Daniel has been actively involved in networking and developing close ties with the local and international business community since his appointment as “Advisor to the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Trade” in 2008. He is currently the President, and driving force behind the Malaysia-Belgium-Luxembourg Business Council (MBLBC) as well as the Director of the EU-Malaysian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EUMCCI). Through these platforms, Daniel developed the framework of the EU-ASEAN Forum on Food Safety, now in its 4th year running, which has become a flagship platform for the EU and ASEAN communities in the public and private sector to discuss regulatory challenges and opportunities for the unification of standards in food safety throughout the region.
A strong advocate of educational initiatives that offer mentor support between businesses and students, Daniel speaks regularly at local colleges and hosts international student visits to the office headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is also the inspiration behind the Young Malaysians Go Classic (YMGC), a CSR initiative that provides opportunities for young talented Malaysians to display their artistic acumen on an international stage.
