Everyone in Brussels has a story, and in this series we uncover the journeys, choices, and reflections of professionals who have found their way into this unique ecosystem. Through candid conversations, our guests share how they ended up in the “Brussels bubble,” what drives them, and what they have learned along the way.
Each interview touches on the personal and professional: how their career paths unfolded, the challenges they have faced in their sectors, the misconceptions they want to dispel, and the risks that shaped their growth. We also ask them to burst the bubble, by explaining what their work looks like to outsiders, or by challenging myths about EU affairs.
Our first guest is Thomas Trevisan, Programme Manager in Building and Industry at ECOS, who shared with us how he found his way to Brussels, his perspective on the biggest challenges ahead for his sector, and the lessons he has carried forward from his early steps in the city. His journey offers both an insider’s glimpse into sustainable industry policy and a personal reflection on carving out a path in one of Europe’s most dynamic professional arenas.
