Lotte Vermeir (36) is chosen for someone who knows the house well. She has been working for the VRT since 2008. Initially at the study department and from 2015 as Goris’ right-hand man at the network management of One and Canvas. In recent years, she has mainly focused on the digital strategy of the channels. In between, she negotiated the new management agreement for the public broadcaster together with Karen Donders, director of public service at the VRT.
Lin Delcour (38) is also an old acquaintance. She started her career as a journalist in the newsroom and in that capacity collaborated on headlines, the news and a whole host of election manifestos. She then became editor-in-chief at headlines and she co-signed the transformation of Panorama to research program Cloth from. Since 2018, she has been monitoring internal and external programs as supply manager. For example, she supervised programs such as The House, If you only knew, The ideal world, De Kemping on Everyone famous.
Vermeir and Delcour must determine the course of One and Canvas in the coming years. It is no secret that it will be mainly digital. VRT CEO Frederik Delaplace does not hide his ambition in that regard. In his plan for the future, he talks unequivocally about market leadership in the digital field. The choice for Vermeir, who has been busy drawing up that digital strategy in recent years, fits in perfectly with that picture. Vermeir is looking forward to helping build the digital future of the VRT from the One and Canvas brands, she said in a press release. “VRT NU, One and Canvas will be more attuned to each other than ever before.” By the way, Delaplace already let us know where things should go in his opinion. Where Goris with programs like Down the Road, Taboo of De Kemping emphatically committed to social impact, it could also be a little more light-hearted for the CEO. “There is too little relaxation on One. Too little humor”, he said last weekend in The newspapaer.
