Meet the team
No team, no Wintercircus. This crew keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, so you can fully soak in the magic. Every day, we work together to shape this vibrant place.
Dorien Van Steenberge
CEO
Dorien Van Steenberge has earned her stripes in IT strategy, corporate consulting and scale-up leadership, and brought that baggage to Wintercircus. There, she grew the Collective into a community of 1,500+ members.
Since the 1st of April 2026 (no joke), she's the new CEO of Wintercircus Ghent, ready to write the next chapter. Twice nominated as Young ICT Lady of the Year, she knows better than anyone how technology and people come together. Building ecosystems, driving innovation, thinking ahead – that's her thing.
