Following the language of global business
CxOnet.be is entering a new chapter. From now on, the platform will primarily publish its content in English. The decision follows a clear trend revealed through audience research: more than 80% of the CxO-level leaders reached by CxOnet.be operate in an international context. English has become the common language of global leadership, business strategy and cross-border collaboration. To stay aligned with its audience and their needs, CxOnet.be is adapting accordingly.
From Belgian initiative to international community
Since its creation, CxOnet.be has aimed to connect decision-makers and thought leaders from across industries. Founded and owned by Dirk Vermant, the platform has steadily grown into a trusted space for insights, interviews and perspectives from executives navigating complex economic and technological change. What started as a Belgian initiative gradually attracted readers and contributors far beyond national borders.
Over the years, CxOnet.be has covered topics ranging from digital transformation and leadership to innovation, sustainability and the future of work. As its community expanded, the platform increasingly engaged with executives whose businesses operate across Europe and the wider global market. For many of these leaders, English is the natural language of daily communication with partners, investors and teams around the world.
Connecting leaders in a global dialogue
The shift to English therefore reflects the evolution of the CxOnet.be community itself. By publishing in the language most widely used in international business, the platform can further strengthen its mission: connecting leaders, sharing ideas and fostering dialogue that crosses borders and industries.
In that sense, the vision aligns with the philosophy expressed by the World Economic Forum, which aims to bring leaders together to address global challenges. As the organization describes it, the goal is “to improve the state of the world by engaging leaders from politics, business and society.”
CxOnet.be embraces a similar belief: that dialogue among leaders, knowledge sharing and international collaboration are essential in an increasingly interconnected world. By moving forward in English, the platform continues to follow its audience and support the conversations that shape tomorrow’s leadership.
