Daan De Wever, co-founder and CEO Dstny Group

"I am very happy with this great recognition. It is the culmination of a journey I started 15 years ago with my brother Samuel. Together we have consistently and sustainably built Dstny into the European leader and innovator in cloud-based business communication solutions that we are today.  We support SMEs and large companies with a modern all-in communication platform for telephony, chat and video, as well as advanced connectivity and security solutions."

"Meanwhile, we have become a proud cycling sponsor of Lotto-Dstny, reinforcing our new European brand identity, which we launched last year. The Dstny brand brings together the more than 14 companies within the Dstny Group, spread across 7 European countries, under one flag. To build a single future-proof European company, we have established a similar set-up and go-to-market model in all countries."

"Moreover, in recent years we have built a strong technology framework and unique technical development capacity.  We've become much more a technology player than a telco provider and it is our ambition in the coming years to anchor this technology at the European level and further strengthen our pan-European presence."
