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.
In our fourth episode, we sit down with Jasper Dober, Media and Communications Manager at HOTREC, to discuss his journey through Brussels’ policy and communications landscape. From consultancy to the EU institutions and now the hospitality sector, he reflects on navigating change, learning by doing, and finding purpose at the crossroads of policy and communication.
Watch the full interview to hear his thoughts on the myths, challenges, and opportunities shaping one of Europe’s most dynamic industries.
