Luc Huysmans
Founding Father
Our Team
Meet the dedicated team behind our global network, bringing decades of expertise and a passion for connecting logistics professionals worldwide.
After finalizing his college degree, Luc started his logistic career in the early ‘80s as a shipping clerk and developed his skills into project shipment and chartering for multiple breakbulk shipping lines. He remained active in the shipping industry until 1993 when he was invited to become director of a well-known forwarding company in Antwerp, founded in 1918 as a part of the VanUden Group in Rotterdam. After realizing a management buyout in 1993, Luc at the same time obtained the ownership of another Antwerp forwarding company with a 50 years logistic tradition in the local Antwerp market.
Five years later, Luc and his partners created the Atlas International Network together with their life time mentor, Issa Baluch, former FIATA president and owner of Swift Freight in Dubai. Since 2013, Luc has taken full responsibility of the daily management of the Atlas International Network.
Lyanne started her Executive Management studies at Karel de Grote Hogeschool in Antwerp. Everything in the training revolved around organization and management. During the training, she developed an eye for profit, business processes and communication management in different languages.
For her senior year, Lyanne went to Valencia, Spain to finish the last year of her studies. All classes followed there, were taught in Spanish. This has allowed her to improve her Spanish skills significantly.
After her studies, she first did an internship in a qualified hospital in Belgium, where she worked as a supervisor on the quality and accreditation department. There, she learned to manage and train teams in executing new procedures and applications.
Upon joining the Atlas International Network, she developed her accounting knowledge further and besides business development, she is now also responsible for the accountancy. She is also engaged in event and project management and knows all the ins and outs.
