Bruno Vanryb, co-founder and CEO of Avanquest Software, in tandem with his company’s great adventure, has always been involved in citizen life and volunteer associations aiming at supporting the growth of technology start-ups and midsized companies.

Originally a co-founder and President of Croissance Plus (1998- 2000), an association whose goal is to spotlight and support young, growing companies, in 2002 Bruno Vanryb was elected President of MiddleNext, a professional association bringing together more than a hundred companies that are among the finest mid-sized companies listed on the stock exchange; he defends their interests with local authorities, institutions, the media and the financial community. He is still its Honorary President.

The involvement of Avanquest’s co-founder with listed companies continued with his 2007 appointment to the Strategic Orientation Committee of NYSE Euronext, where he contributes to the efforts of Paris stock exchange towards mid- sized businesses.

Complementing these commitments to SMBs, Bruno Vanryb was elected by his peers in 2010 to serve as President of the Syntec Numérique Board of Software Publishers with the ambition of developing a large, innovation-driven professional union in direct touch with the expectations of a constantly changing world.

Since April 2011, Bruno Vanryb has also been a member of France’s Conseil National du Numérique, a consultative body created by the government which advises the office of the French President and the minister in charge of digital technology on major developments in the new technologies in France and in Europe.

In all the organizations he is part of, Bruno Vanryb makes his voice heard and defends the interests of an industry he knows inside and out, Avanquest Software being one of its most representative companies.

A STRONG COMMITMENT TO CITIZEN LIFE
