ABOUT PHILIPPE DE BACKER
I am dedicated to aligning public policy with private capital to drive sustainable growth and innovation. With a PhD in biotechnology and an MBA from Solvay Business School, I embarked on a journey that led me from the European parliament to ministerial roles in the Belgian government, and now to KKR. At KKR, I lead public affairs across EMEA, focusing on strategic investments that align with Europe\'s policy priorities in (digital) infrastructure, overall growth and broad competitiveness. I welcome connections with professionals passionate about the intersection of policy and investment, as well as investors and policy makers.
